Lyrics Janine - Mark Knopfler

It's the same old rodeo whenever it appears
The roughnecks and truck drivers, pipeliners and engineers
Our dusty little cow town 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 cow town, 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 love that boom town pay
I hope that you've been holding on to something for a rainy day
The thing about a cow town, 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
