You Never Even
\n\tCalled Me By My Name
\n\tby David Allen Coe<\/a><\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

It was all that I could do to keep from cryin’
\n\tSometimes it seems so useless to remain
\n\tYou don’t have to call me darlin’, darlin’
\n\tYou never even call me by my name. <\/p>\n

\tYou don’t have to call me Waylon Jennings
\n\tAnd you don’t have to call me Charlie Pride.
\n\tYou don’t have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore.
\n\tEven though your on my fightin’ side. <\/p>\n

\tCHORUS
\n\tAnd I’ll hang around as long as you will let me
\n\tAnd I never minded standin’ in the rain.
\n\tYou don’t have to call me darlin’, darlin’
\n\tYou never even call me by my name. <\/p>\n

\tI’ve heard my name a few times in your phone book
\n\tI’ve seen it on signs where I’ve laid
\n\tBut the only time I know, I’ll hear David Allan Coe
\n\tIs when Jesus has his final judgement day. <\/p>\n

\tCHORUS… <\/p>\n

\tWell, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
\n\tand he told me it was the perfect country and western song
\n\tI wrote him back a letter and told him it was NOT the perfect
\n\tcountry and western song because he hadn’t said anything about
\n\tMomma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin’ drunk.
\n\tWell, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent
\n\tit to me and after reading it, I realized that my friend had written
\n\tthe perfect country and western song. And I felt obliged to include it
\n\ton this album. The last verse goes like this here: <\/p>\n

\tWell, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
\n\tAnd I went to pick her up in the rain.
\n\tBut, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
\n\tShe got runned over by a damned old train. <\/p>\n

\tCHORUS: <\/p>\n

\tSo I’ll hang around as long as you will let me
\n\tAnd I never minded standin’ in the rain. No,
\n\tYou don’t have to call me darlin’, darlin’
\n\tYou never even call me, I wonder why you don’t call me
\n\tWhy don’t you ever call me by my name. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
