You Never Even Called Me By My Name (1975)

It was all that I could do to keep from crying

Sometimes it seems so useless to remain

You don't have to call me darling, darling

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 you’re on my fighting side


And I'll hang around as long as you will let me

And I never minded standing in the rain

You don't have to call me darling, darling

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 judgment day


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 mama, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or getting 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


So I'll hang around as long as you will let me

And I never minded standing in the rain

No, you don't have to call me darling, darling

You never even call me, I wonder why you don't call me

Why don't you ever call me by my name
