Lyrics:

It Was All That I Could Do To Keep From Cryin
sometimes It Seems So Useless To Remain
you Dont Have To Call Me Darlin, Darlin
you Never Even Call Me By My Name.

you Dont Have To Call Me Waylon Jennings
and You Dont Have To Call Me Charlie Pride.
you Dont Have To Call Me Merle Haggard, Anymore.
even Though Your On My Fightin Side.

chorus
and Ill Hang Around As Long As You Will Let Me
and I Never Minded Standin In The Rain.
you Dont Have To Call Me Darlin, Darlin
you Never Even Call Me By My Name.

ive Heard My Name A Few Times In Your Phone Book
ive Seen It On Signs Where Ive Laid
but The Only Time I Know, Ill 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 Hadnt 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 Ill Hang Around As Long As You Will Let Me
and I Never Minded Standin In The Rain. No,
you Dont Have To Call Me Darlin, Darlin
you Never Even Call Me, I Wonder Why You Dont Call Me
why Dont You Ever Call Me By My Name.
