CHer pretty eyes are pretty still
    F                      CBut Jim's got a quite of a squint, yeah
  
I dug my last check from out of the mine
      Am                     FNow I feel like I've done my stint.
    CJim got an army pension
        F                        CWhen he walked from the military court
F           C            G         CNobody ever mentions the medical report.



CShe does little things for me
    F                          CShe likes to get the both of us high, yeah

She says I am a tender-hearted man
      Am                            FPrince Charming, yeah, sure, I'm the guy.
   CHe likes the wrecker's dogs on chains
       F                      CAnd the smoke from the company fires
F                 CDiesel oil in the trucks and cranes
        G               CAnd the smell of burning tires.

F               CChecking out of Donkey Town
   G                 CSo long, so long, so long.

CThere's a purple heart in a silver tin
      F             CAnd a grey .45 in a draw, yeah

Most of the time you can drink with him
        Am                   FBut some other time he's just sore.
   COn days when she says she can't think straight
   F                            COr feels like she's getting the jumps
F                       CShe'll go shoot off her .38
   G                    CAt cans at a Donkey Town dump.


CIt was Friday late and she crossed those legs
   F                      CShe told me flat out, she would, yeah

If I could pull up my trailer legs
        Am                     FWe could get away together for good.
  CI sure wish her the best of luck
              F                    CShe's going to need it, thinking of Jim
F                         CI don't like to leave her stuck
          G              CBut she's near as bad as him.


CI've been around in Donkey Town
         F          CToo long, Baby, too long
F               CChecking out of Donkey Town
   G                 CSo long, so long, so long.
