Wild Wind
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]
