Download	Image LRC TXT

	作词 : Goodman
	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.
	You don't have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore.
	Even though your on my fightin' side.
	CHORUS
	And 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.
	I've heard my name a few times in your phone book
	I've seen it on signs where I've laid
	But the only time I know, I'll hear David Allan Coe
	Is when Jesus has his final judgement day.
	CHORUS...
	Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
	and he told me it was the perfect country and western song.
	I wrote him back a letter and told him it was NOT the perfect
	country and western song because he hadn't said anything about
	Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin' 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 and 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 outta 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.
	CHORUS
	So I'll hang around as long as you will let me
	And I never minded standin' in the rain. No,
	You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
	You never even call me, I wonder why you don't call me
	Why don't you ever call me by my name.
