You Never Even Called Me By My Name - David Allan Coe[00:00:01]
It was all that I could do to keep from cryin'[00:00:01]
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain[00:00:11]
You don't have to call me darlin' darlin'[00:00:21]
You never even call me by my name [00:00:30]
You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings[00:00:41]
And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride [00:00:49]
You don't have to call me Merle Haggard anymore [00:00:59]
Even though your on my fightin' side [00:01:08]
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me[00:01:16]
And I never minded standin' in the rain [00:01:25]
You don't have to call me darlin' darlin'[00:01:35]
You never even call me by my name [00:01:44]
I've heard my name a few times in your phone book[00:01:53]
I've seen it on signs where I've laid[00:02:02]
But the only time I know [00:02:11]
I'll hear David Allan Coe[00:02:16]
Is when Jesus has his final judgement day [00:02:20]
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me[00:02:29]
And I never minded standin' in the rain [00:02:38]
No You don't have to call me darlin' darlin'[00:02:48]
You never even call me by my name [00:02:57]
Well a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote[00:03:06]
That song and he told me it was the perfect country[00:03:08]
And western song[00:03:12]
I wrote him back a letter[00:03:14]
And told him it was NOT the perfect[00:03:16]
Country and western song because[00:03:17]
He hadn't said anything about[00:03:19]
Momma or trains or trucks [00:03:21]
Or prison or gettin' drunk [00:03:27]
Well he sat down and wrote another[00:03:32]
Verse to the song and he sent[00:03:34]
It to me and after reading it [00:03:36]
I realized that my friend had written[00:03:38]
The perfect country and western song [00:03:40]
And I felt obliged to include it[00:03:43]
On this album The last verse goes like this here:[00:03:45]
Well I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison [00:03:51]
And I went to pick her up in the rain [00:04:00]
But before I could get to the station[00:04:09]
In my pickup truck[00:04:14]
She got runned over by a damned old train [00:04:20]
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me[00:04:27]
And I never minded standin' in the rain No [00:04:36]
You don't have to call me darlin' darlin'[00:04:46]
You never even call me [00:04:54]
I wonder why you don't call me[00:04:58]
Why don't you ever call me by my name[00:05:03]
