You Never Even Call Me by My Name Lyrics

Artist: David Alan Coe
Album: Once Upon a Rhyme

Written By Steve Goodman
As Recorded By David Allan Coe

WELL, IT WAS ALL
THAT I COULD DO TO KEEP FROM CRYINGâ‚¬â„¢
SOMETIMES IT SEEMED SO USELESS TO REMAIN
BUT YOU DONâ‚¬â„¢T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLINâ‚¬â„¢, DARLIN'
YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME BY MY NAME

YOU DONâ‚¬â„¢T HAVE TO CALL ME WAYLON JENNINGS
AND YOU DONâ‚¬â„¢T HAVE TO CALL ME CHARLIE PRIDE
AND YOU DONâ‚¬â„¢T HAVE TO CALL ME MERLE HAGGARD/ANYMORE
EVEN THOUGH YOUâ‚¬â„¢RE ON MY FIGHTINGâ‚¬â„¢ SIDE

CHORUS:
AND Iâ‚¬â„¢LL HANG AROUND AS LONG AS YOU WILL LET ME
AND I NEVER MINDED STANDINGâ‚¬â„¢ IN THE RAIN
BUT YOU DONâ‚¬â„¢T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLINâ‚¬â„¢, DARLINâ‚¬â„¢
YOU NEVER EVEN CALLED ME BY MY NAME

WELL, Iâ‚¬â„¢VE HEARD MY NAME
A FEW TIMES IN YOUR PHONE BOOK (Hello, Hello)
AND Iâ‚¬â„¢VE SEEN IT ON SIGNS WHERE Iâ‚¬â„¢VE PLAYED
BUT THE ONLY TIME I KNOW
Iâ‚¬â„¢LL HEAR "DAVID ALLAN COE"
IS WHEN JESUS HAS HIS FINAL JUDGMENT DAY

REPEAT CHORUS

RECITATION:
WELL, A FRIEND OF MINE NAMED STEVE GOODMAN WROTE THAT SONG
AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE PERFECT COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG
I WROTE HIM BACK A LETTER AND I TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT THE PERFECT COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG BECAUSE HE HADNâ‚¬â„¢T SAID ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT MAMA,
OR TRAINS,
OR TRUCKS,
OR PRISON,
OR GETTINGâ‚¬â„¢ 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 & WESTERN SONG
AND I FELT OBLIGED TO INCLUDE IT ON THIS ALBUM
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 MY PICKUP TRUCK
SHE GOT RUN NED OVER BY A DAMNED OLD TRAIN

CHORUS:
AND Iâ‚¬â„¢LL HANG AROUND AS LONG AS YOU WILL LET ME
AND I NEVER MINDED STANDINGâ‚¬â„¢ IN THE RAIN
NO, Aâ‚¬â„¢ YOU DONâ‚¬â„¢T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLINâ‚¬â„¢, DARLINâ‚¬â„¢
YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME
WELL I WONDER WHY YOU DONâ‚¬â„¢T CALL ME
WHY DONâ‚¬â„¢T YOU EVER CALL ME BY MY NAME
