You Don't Even Call Me By My Name Songtext
Well it was all that I could do to keep from cryin'
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain
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 Charlie 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
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 my pickup truck
She got runned 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
By name
