WILD WIND BLOWS
Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
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 ainât got nobody.
Well he sells his papers and buys his wine.
His great-granddaddy owned half of Main Street.
Lutherâs daddy didnât have a dime.
CHORUS
Ainât no secret Olâ Doc Skinner
Wrote prescriptions and made lots of friends.
He could dance like nobodyâs business.
Folks around here, are sure missinâ him.
