G5 C5 A5 D5
Down on Main Street after sundown,
G5 C5 A5 D5
Good time Charlie, and Wanderin' Bill
G5 C5 A5 D5
Thought they might hold up, ol' Hoppy's Drive-In;
G5 C5 A5 D5
One got away and one never will.
CHORUS:
C5 D5 G5 C5
And that's the way it goes around here;
(around here)
G5 D5 A5
I think everybody knows
(I guess everybody knows)
C5 D5 G5 C5
That's the song they've been singin' for years
(and years)
G5 D5 C5
That's the way the wild wind blows
(wild wind blows)
G5 C5 A5 D5
Too Tall Annie kept her money
G5 C5 A5 D5
In a Bible she never read.
G5 C5 A5 D5
They found Lefty, her first ex-husband
G5 C5 A5 D5
In his new pick-up truck at the bottom of the river bed.

G5 C5 A5 D5
Luther Martin, he ain?t got nobody,
G5 C5 A5 D5
But he sells papers and buys his wine.
G5 C5 A5 D5
His great-granddaddy owned half of Main Street;
G5 C5 A5 D5
Luther?s daddy didn?t have a dime.
CHORUS
G5 C5 A5 D5
Ain?t no secret Old Doc Skinner

He could dance like nobody?s business;

Folks around here, are sure missin? him.
