It was sometimes called The Perfect Country Song, but its real title was You Never Even Call Me By My Name David Allan Coe Doug Supernaw Written by: Steve Goodman It was all 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 fighting side. And I'll hang around as long as you will let me And I never minded standin' in the rain But you don't have to call me darlin' darlin' You never even call me by my name. Spoken: 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 the pickup truck She got ran 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.
