Janine Mark Knopfler

[Verse 1]
It's the same old rodeo whenever it appears
The roughnecks and truck drivers, pipeliners and engineers
Our dusty little cowtown turned into a boomtown fast
Guess we had to say "so long" to our little town of the past

[Chorus]
Janine, my heart goes out to you
I know you’ve been trying, I've been trying too

[Verse 2]
Now there’s big rigs on the highway loaded up with sand and tools
Oil rigs on the skyline, new kids in the schools
The thing about a cowtown, there's always dust
But it always rains eventually, and rain it must

[Chorus]
Janine, my heart goes out to you
I know you’ve been trying, I've been trying too

[Chorus]
Janinе, my heart goes out to you
I know you’ve been trying, I'vе been trying too

[Verse 3]
I hope that you've been saving a little of that boomtown pay
I hope that you've been holding on to something for a rainy day
The thing about a cowtown, there's always dust
The thing about a boom is, there's always a bust
