Standard (EADGBE)

Down on Main Street after sundown,

Good time Charlie, and Wanderin' Bill

Thought they might hold up, ole' Hoppy's Drive In.

One got away and one never will.

Chorus

And that's the way it goes around here;

(around here)

I think everybody knows.

(I guess everybody knows)

And that's the song I been singin' for years.

(ten years)

That's the way the wild wind blows.

(wild wind blows)

Too tall Annie kept her money

In a Bible she never read.

They found Lefty, her first ex-husband

In his new pick-up truck at the bottom of the river bed.

Chorus

Luther Martin, he ain’t got nobody.

Well he sells his papers and buys his wine.

His great-granddaddy owned half of Main Street.

Luther’s daddy didn’t have a dime.

Chorus

Ain’t no secret Ol’ Doc Skinner

Wrote prescriptions and made lots of friends.

He could dance like nobody’s business.

Folks around here, are sure missin’ him.
