Down on Main Street after sundown   Goodtime Charlie and Wanderin’ Bill   Thought they might hold up Happy’s Drive-in   One got away and one never will      Chorus:   That’s the way it goes around here   I think everybody knows   That’s the song they’ve been singin’ for years   That’s 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 ain’t got nobody   But he sells papers and buys his wine   His granddaddy owned half of Main Street   Luther’s daddy didn’t have a dime      (Repeat Chorus)      Ain’t no secret old Doc Skinner   Wrote prescriptions and made lots of friends   He could dance like nobody’s business   Folks around here are sure missing him      (Repeat Chorus)
