you never called me by my name - david allan coe lyrics

well it was all that 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 figtin’ side
and i’ll hang around as long as you will let me and i never minded standing in the rain
but you don’t have to call me darlin’ darlin’ you never even call me by my name

well i’ve heard my name a few times in your phonebook (h-llo h-llo)
and i’ve seen it on signs where i’ve played
but the only time i know i’ll hear david allan coe
is when jesus has his final judgement day
so i’ll hang around…

(well a friend of mine named steve goodman wrote that song
and he told me it was the perfect country and western song
i wrote him back a letter and told him
it was not the percfect country and western song
because he hadn’t said anything at all about mama
or trains or trucks or prison or gettin’ drunk
well he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to me
and after reading it i realized
that my friend had written the perfect country and western song
and i felt obliged to include it on this alb-m the last verse goes like this here)

well i was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
and i went to pick her up in the rain
but before i could get to the station in a pickup truck
she got run’d over by a d-mned old train
and i’ll hang around…
