Wild Wind (with Cody Braun) - Robert Earl Keen, Cody Braun

Down on Main Street after sundown

Good Time Charlie and Wandering Bill

Thought they might hold up old Hoppy’s Drive In

One got away one never will

And that’s the way it goes around here

I think everybody knows

That’s the song we’ve been singin' for years

That’s the way the 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 river bed

And that’s the way it goes around here

I think everybody knows

That’s the song we’ve been singin' for years

That’s the way the wild wind blows

Luther Martin he ain’t got no money

But he sells papers and buys his wine

His great granddaddy owned half of Main Street

Luther’s daddy didn’t have a dime

And that’s the way it goes around here

I think everybody knows

That’s the song we’ve been singin' for years

That’s the way the wild wind blows

Ain’t no secret ol Doc Skinner

Wrote prescriptions made lots of friends

He could dance like nobody’s business

Folks around here are sure missing him

And that’s the way it goes around here

I think everybody knows

That’s the song we’ve been singin' for years

That’s the way the wild wind blows
