Down on Main Street after sundown
Goodtime Charlie and Wanderin Bill
Thought they might hold up Happys Drive-in
One got away and one never will
Chorus:
Thats the way it goes around here
I think everybody knows
Thats the song theyve been singin for years
Thats the way 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 pickup truck at the bottom of the riverbed
(Repeat Chorus)
Luther Martin, he aint got nobody
But he sells papers and buys his wine
His granddaddy owned half of Main Street
Luthers daddy didnt have a dime
(Repeat Chorus)
Aint no secret old Doc Skinner
Wrote prescriptions and made lots of friends
He could dance like nobodys business
Folks around here are sure missing him
