by Robert Earl Keen


[G] down on [C] main street [Am] after [D] sundown 
[G] goodtime [C] charlie [Am] wonderin [D] bill

[G] thought they might [C] hold up [Am] ole hoppy's [D] drive in
[G] one got [C] away and  [Am] one never [D] will


CHORUS

  [C] that's the [D] way it [G] goes around [C] here
  [G] i think [D] everybody [Em] knows
  [C] that's the [D] song we been [G] singin for [C] years
  [G] that's the [D] way the wild wind [C] 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 a river bed

[CHORUS]

luther martin  he ain't got nobody
well he sells 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  o doc skinner
wrote prescriptions  and made lots of friends  

he could dance like  nobody's business
folks around here  are sure missing him

[CHORUS]
