Текст песни You Never Even Call Me By My Name

Writer: Steve Goodman

It was all I could do to keep from cryin'

Sometimes it seemed so useless to remain

But you don't have to call me darlin' darlin'

You never even call me by my name.

You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings

And you don't have to call me Charley Pride

And you don't have to call me Merle Haggard anymore

Even though you're on my fighting side.

And I'll hang around as long as you will let me

And I never minded standin' in the rain

But you don't have to call me darlin' darlin'

You never even call me by my name.

Spoken:

Well, you know me and The Possum Eatin' Cowboys have

been playin' this song for a long time out there on the

road. It's a touchin' little Steve Goodman number 'bout

trains and trucks and mamas and prison and gettin' drunk.

So anyway, me and the boys got together and we asked

Mr. David Allen Coe and a few of our other heroes if they

wouldn't mind singin' with us on what has proven itself to

be the perfect country western song.

I was drunk the day my mama got out of prison

And I went to pick her up in the rain

But before I could get to the station in the pickup truck

She got ran over by a damned old train.

So I'll hang around as long as you will let me

And I never minded standin' in the rain

You don't have to call me darlin' darlin'

You never even call me....

Well I wonder why you don't call me...

Why don't you ever call me by my name.
