[00:20.225]Checking out of Donkey Town
[00:23.495]So long so long so long
[00:30.315]Her pretty eyes are pretty still
[00:34.435]But Jim's got a kind of a squint Yeah
[00:40.785]I dug up my last check from out of the mine
[00:44.595]Now I feel like I've done my stint
[00:51.765]Jim got an army pension
[00:55.175]When he walked from the military court
[01:00.185]No body ever mentioned
[01:03.865]The medical report
[01:10.775]She does little things for me
[01:14.305]She likes to get the both of us high Yeah
[01:20.685]She says I'm a tender-hearted man
[01:24.625]Prince charming yeah sure I'm the guy
[01:31.785]He likes the wrecker's dogs on chains
[01:35.115]And the smoke from the company fires
[01:40.185]Diesel oil in the trucks and cranes
[01:43.625]And the smell of burning tires
[01:47.945]But I've been around in Donkey Town

[01:56.985]Checking out of Donkey Town
[02:00.294]So long so long so long
[02:21.577]There's a purple heart in a silver tin
[02:25.667]And a grey 45in a drawer
[02:32.857]Most of the time you can drink with him
[02:36.547]But some other time he's just sore
[02:42.827]On days when she says she can't think straight
[02:46.727]Or she feels like she's getting the jumps
[02:51.797]She'll go shoot off her 38
[02:55.657]At cans on a Donkey Town dump
[03:01.657]It was Friday late and she crossed those legs
[03:06.487]She told me flat out she would Yeah
[03:12.447]If I could pull up my trailer pegs
[03:16.257]We could get away together for good
[03:23.357]I sure wish her the best of luck
[03:26.336]She's going to need it thinking of Jim
[03:31.786]I don't like to leave her stuck
[03:35.286]But she's near as bad as him
[03:39.736]But I've been around in Donkey Town
