Mark Knopfler - Donkey Town Lyrics

Send "Donkey Town" ringtone to your cell

I've been around in Donkeytown

Too long baby too long

Checking out of Donkeytown

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 corps

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 charmingyeah 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 Donkeytown

Too long baby too long

Checking out of Donkeytown

So long so long so long

There's a purple heart in a silver tin

And a grey .45 in a drawer. Yeah

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 Donkeytown 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 Donkeytown

Too long baby too long

Checking out of Donkeytown

So long so long so long

Checking out of Donkeytown

So long so long so long
