[Chorus: Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris]
I've been around in Donkeytown
Too long, baby, too long
Checking out of Donkeytown
So long, so long, so long
[Verse 1: Mark Knopfler]
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
Nobody ever mentioned
The medical report
[Verse 2: Mark Knopfler]
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 charming, yeah, 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
I've been around in Donkeytown
Too long, baby, too long
Checking out of Donkeytown
So long, so long, so long
[Verse 1: Mark Knopfler]
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
Nobody ever mentioned
The medical report
[Verse 2: Mark Knopfler]
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 charming, yeah, 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
