It was all that I could do to keep from cryin' |
| [00:07.79] |
|
| [00:11.17] |
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain |
| [00:17.35] |
|
| [00:20.98] |
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin' |
| [00:28.48] |
|
| [00:30.17] |
You never even call me by my name. |
| [00:36.23] |
|
| [00:40.18] |
You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings |
| [00:44.93] |
|
| [00:48.80] |
And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride. |
| [00:54.86] |
|
| [00:57.99] |
You don't have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore. |
| [01:05.42] |
|
| [01:07.80] |
Even though your on my fightin' side. |
| [01:15.36] |
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me |
| [01:21.86] |
|
| [01:24.92] |
And I never minded standin' in the rain. |
| [01:31.98] |
|
| [01:34.61] |
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin' |
| [01:41.92] |
|
| [01:43.61] |
You never even call me by my name. |
| [01:49.56] |
|
| [01:52.75] |
I've heard my name a few times in your phone book |
| [01:58.00] |
|
| [02:01.56] |
I've seen it on signs where I've laid |
| [02:07.68] |
|
| [02:10.50] |
But the only time I know, |
| [02:14.12] |
|
| [02:15.25] |
I'll hear David Allan Coe |
| [02:18.68] |
|
| [02:19.56] |
Is when Jesus has his final judgement day. |
| [02:27.25] |
|
| [02:28.00] |
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me |
| [02:34.38] |
|
| [02:37.50] |
And I never minded standin' in the rain. No, |
| [02:47.32] |
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin' |
| [02:54.36] |
|
| [02:55.86] |
You never even call me by my name. |
| [03:02.42] |

Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song |
| [03:07.48] |
|
| [03:08.61] |
and he told me it was the perfect country and western song |
| [03:11.36] |
|
| [03:13.05] |
I wrote him back a letter and told him it was NOT the perfect |
| [03:15.92] |
country and western song because he hadn't said anything about |
| [03:19.02] |
Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin' drunk. |
| [03:28.76] |
|
| [03:31.14] |
Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent |
| [03:34.08] |
it to me and after reading it, |
| [03:36.26] |
I realized that my friend had written |
| [03:39.14] |
the perfect country and western song. |
| [03:40.76] |
|
| [03:41.89] |
And I felt obliged to include it |
| [03:43.70] |
on this album. The last verse goes like this here: |
| [03:47.14] |
|
| [03:49.32] |
Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison. |
| [03:54.83] |
|
| [03:58.58] |
And I went to pick her up in the rain. |
| [04:04.07] |
|
| [04:07.45] |
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck |
| [04:15.13] |
|
| [04:17.94] |
She got runned over by a damned old train. |
| [04:23.97] |
|
| [04:25.40] |
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me |
| [04:31.03] |
|
| [04:34.41] |
And I never minded standin' in the rain. No, |
| [04:43.03] |
|
| [04:43.77] |
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin' |
| [04:51.84] |
|
| [04:52.65] |
You never even call me, I wonder why you don't call me |
| [05:00.40] |
|
| [05:01.09] |
Why don't you ever call me by my name. |
