Chorus:

C majorC
I've been around in Donkey Town
     C majorC
Too long, Baby, too long
C majorC
Checking out of Donkey Town
  C majorC
So long, so long, so long.

C majorC
Her pretty eyes are pretty still
  C majorC
But Jim's got a quite of a squint, yeah

I dug my last check from out of the mine
   FF
Now I feel like I've done my stint.
  C majorC
Jim got an army pension
    C majorC
When he walked from the military court
C majorC
Nobody ever mentions the medical report.


C majorC
She does little things for me
  C majorC
She likes to get the both of us high, yeah

She says I am a tender-hearted man
   FF
Prince Charming, yeah, sure, I'm the guy.
  C majorC
He likes the wrecker's dogs on chains
    C majorC
And the smoke from the company fires
C majorC
Diesel oil in the trucks and cranes
    C majorC
And the smell of burning tires.

C majorC
I've been around in Donkey Town
     C majorC
Too long, Baby, too long
C majorC
Checking out of Donkey Town
  C majorC
So long, so long, so long.

C majorC
There's a purple heart in a silver tin
   C majorC
And a grey .45 in a draw, yeah

Most of the time you can drink with him
    FF
But some other time he's just sore.
  C majorC
On days when she says she can't think straight
  C majorC
Or feels like she's getting the jumps
C majorC
She'll go shoot off her .38
  C majorC
At cans at a Donkey Town dump.

C majorC
It was Friday late and she crossed those legs
  C majorC
She told me flat out, she would, yeah

If I could pull up my trailer legs
    FF
We could get away together for good.
 C majorC
I sure wish her the best of luck
       C majorC
She's going to need it, thinking of Jim
C majorC
I don't like to leave her stuck
     C majorC
But she's near as bad as him.


C majorC
I've been around in Donkey Town
     C majorC
Too long, Baby, too long
C majorC
Checking out of Donkey Town
  C majorC
