Mark Knopfler, Janine, Album One Deep River, Lyrics
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.
Janine, my heart goes out to you.
I know you’ve been trying, I’ve been trying too!
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.
Janine, my heart goes out to you. I know you’ve been trying,
I’ve been trying too!
Janine, my heart goes out to you. I know you’ve been trying
I’ve been trying too!
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 .
Janine, my heart goes out to you. I know you’ve been trying,
I’ve been trying too!
Janine, my heart goes out to you. I know you’ve been trying,
I’ve been trying too!
