(feat. Mark Knopfler)
2
I've been around in Donkey Town
3
Too long baby too long
4
Checking out of Donkey Town
5
So long, so long, so long
6
Her pretty eyes are pretty still
7
But Jim's got a kind of a squint Yeah
8
I dug up my last check from out of the mine
9
Now I feel like I've done my stint
10
Jim got an army pension
11
When he walked from the military court
12
No body ever mentioned
13
The medical report
14
She does little things for me
15
She likes to get the both of us high. Yeah
16
She says I'm a tender-hearted man
17
Prince charming,yeah, sure, I'm the guy
18
He likes the wrecker's dogs on chains
19
And the smoke from the company fires
20
Diesel oil in the trucks and cranes
21
And the smell of burning tires
22
But I've been around in Donkey Town
23
Too long, baby ,too long
24
Checking out of Donkey Town
25
So long, so long, so long
26
There's a purple heart in a silver tin
27
And a grey .45 in a drawer
28
Most of the time you can drink with him
29
But some other time he's just sore
30
On days when she says she can't think straight
31
Or she feels like she's getting the jumps
32
She'll go shoot off her .38
33
At cans on a Donkey Town dump
34
It was Friday late and she crossed those legs
35
She told me flat out she would. Yeah
36
If I could pull up my trailer pegs
37
We could get away together for good
38
I sure wish her the best of luck
39
She's going to need it thinking of Jim
40
I don't like to leave her stuck
41
But she's near as bad as him
42
But I've been around in Donkey Town
43
Too long baby too long
44
Checking out of Donkey Town
45
So long, so long, so long
46
Checking out of Donkey Town
47
So long, so long, so long
