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
called 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 fightin' side
So I'll hang around
as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin'
in the rain
No but you don't have
to call me darlin' darlin'
You never even
called me by my name
Well you know me and
The Possum Eatin' Cowboys
we 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 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 mom
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 runned over
by a **** old train
So I'll hang around
as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin'
in the rain
Oh but you don't have
to call me darlin' darlin'
You never even called me
Well I wonder
why you don't call me
Why don't you ever
call me by my name
By my name
