[length: 05:42]
[00:11.82]I’ve been around in Donkeytown
[00:15.13]Too long baby too long
[00:20.16]Checking out of Donkeytown
[00:23.61]So long, so long, so long
[00:30.64]Her pretty eyes are pretty still
[00:34.60]But Jim’s got a kind of a squint Yeah
[00:40.95]I dug up my last check from out of the mine
[00:44.69]Now I feel like I’ve done my stint
[00:51.77]Jim got an army pension
[00:55.21]When he walked from the military corps
[01:00.34]No body ever mentioned
[01:03.98]The medical report
[01:11.12]She does little things for me
[01:14.45]She likes to get the both of us high. Yeah
[01:20.77]She says I’m a tender-hearted man
[01:24.87]Prince charming, yeah, sure, I’m the guy
[01:31.81]He likes the wrecker’s dogs on chains
[01:35.20]And the smoke from the company fires
[01:40.21]Diesel oil in the trucks and cranes
[01:43.67]And the smell of burning tires
[01:48.27]But I’ve been around in Donkeytown
[01:52.00]Too long, baby, too long
[01:56.90]Checking out of Donkeytown
[02:00.26]So long, so long, so long
[02:21.73]There’s a purple heart in a silver tin
[02:25.79]And a grey .45 in a drawer. Yeah
[02:32.87]Most of the time you can drink with him
[02:36.61]But some other time he’s just sore
[02:42.74]On days when she says she can’t think straight
[02:46.80]Or she feels like she’s getting the jumps
[02:51.83]She’ll go shoot off her .38
[02:55.24]At cans on a Donkeytown dump
[03:01.81]It was Friday late and she crossed those legs
[03:06.78]She told me flat out she would. Yeah
[03:12.50]If I could pull up my trailer pegs
[03:16.52]We could get away together for good
[03:23.38]I sure wish her the best of luck
[03:26.52]She’s going to need it thinking of Jim
[03:31.83]I don’t like to leave her stuck
[03:35.11]But she’s near as bad as him
[03:39.90]But I’ve been around in Donkeytown
[03:43.43]Too long baby too long
[03:48.60]Checking out of Donkeytown
[03:51.94]So long, so long, so long
[03:57.29]Checking out of Donkeytown
[04:00.31]So long, so long, so long
[05:33.97]
