Download{title: You Never Even Called Me By My Name} {st: Steve Goodman } It was [C]all I could [G]do to keep from [C]crying Some[C]times it seems so [G]useless to re[C]main You [F]don't have to call me darlin', [C]darlin' You [G]never even [C]called me by my [G]name You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride And you don't have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore [D]Even though you're on my "fightin' side" {start_of_chorus} And I'll [F]hang around as long as you will [C]let me And I never minded [G]standin' in the [C]rain You don't have to call me darlin', [C]darlin' You never even [G]called me by my [C]name {end_of_chorus} {c: repeat chorus} Well, I say it can't be the perfect Country and Western song, because it hadn't said anything at all about Mama... or trucks...or trains...or prison...or gettin' drunk. So here's another verse. Maybe this will make it the perfect country song. Well, 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 my pickup truck She got run over by the damned old train... {c: repeat chorus} Well, maybe not. Nothing about a dog. One more try: When the dog got drunk and died, and mama went to prison Ain't nothin' 'round this farm been the same John, you know when mom broke out last christmas She drove that ol' getaway laundry truck right into a train.
