|
I've been around in |
|
Donkey Town |
|
Too long baby too long |
|
Checking out of |
|
Donkey Town |
|
So long, so long, so long |
|
Her pretty eyes are pretty still |
|
But Jim's got a kind of a squint |
|
Yeah I dug up my last check from out of the mine |
|
Now I feel like |
|
I've done my stint |
|
Jim got an army pension |
|
When he walked from the military court |
|
No body ever mentioned |
|
The medical report |
|
She does little things for me |
|
She likes to get the both of us high. |
|
Yeah She says |
|
I'm a tender-hearted man |
|
Prince charming,yeah, sure, |
|
I'm the guy |
|
He likes the wrecker's dogs on chains |
|
And the smoke from the company fires |
|
Diesel oil in the trucks and cranes |
|
And the smell of burning tires |
|
But I've been around in |
|
Donkey Town |
|
Too long, baby ,too long |
|
Checking out of |
|
Donkey Town |
|
So long, so long, so long |
|
There's a purple heart in a silver tin |
|
And a grey .45 in a drawer |
|
Most of the time you can drink with him |
|
But some other time he's just sore |
|
On days when she says she can't think straight |
|
Or she feels like she's getting the jumps |
|
She'll go shoot off her .38 |
|
At cans on a |
|
Donkey Town dump |
|
It was Friday late and she crossed those legs |
|
She told me flat out she would. |
|
Yeah If I could pull up my trailer pegs |
|
We could get away together for good |
|
I sure wish her the best of luck |
|
She's going to need it thinking of |
|
Jim I don't like to leave her stuck |
|
But she's near as bad as him |
|
But I've been around in |
|
Donkey Town |
|
Too long baby too long |
|
Checking out of |
|
Donkey Town |
|
So long, so long, so long |
|
Checking out of |
|
Donkey Town |
|
So long, so long, so long |
