[C] Well, it was all that [F] I could [G] do to [C] keep from crying.
[F] Sometimes it seems so useless [C] to remain.
[F] But you don't have to call me darling, [C]
darling.
You never even [G] call me by [C] my name.
[G] [C]
You don't have [G] to call me Waylon [C]
Jennings.
And you don't [G] have to call me [C] Charlie Price.
[F]
And you don't have to call me [C] Merle Haggard [Am] anymore.
[D] Even though you're on my [G] fighting side.
And [F] I'll run as long as you will [C] let me.
And I never mind [G] it standing in the [C] rain.
[F] But you don't have to call me darling, [C] darling.
You never even [G] call me by [C] my name.
[G] Well,
[C] I've heard my name [G] a few times [C] in your phone books.
And I've seen it [G] on signs where [C] I've played.
[F] But the only time I know [C] I'll hear David [Am] Allen call
[D] Is when Jesus has his final [G] judgment day.
So [F] I'll hide as long as you [C] will let me.
And I never [G] mind it standing [C] in the rain.
[F] But you don't have to call me [C] darling, darling.
You never [G] even call me by [C] my [G] name.
[C] Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song.
And he [G] told me it was the perfect country and western song.
I wrote him back a letter and I told him it was not the perfect country and western song
Because he [C] hadn't said anything at all about mama, or trains, [G] or trucks, or presents, [C] or getting drunk.
[G]
Well, he [C] 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 [G] my mom got [C] out of prison.
And I went to [G] pick her up [C] in the rain.
[F] But before I could get to the station [C] in the pickup truck
[Am] [D] She got run over by a damned [G] old train.
And [F] I'll hop as long as you [C] will let me.
And I never [G] mind it standing [C] in the rain.
Lord, [F] you don't have to call me darling, [C] darling.
You never even [G] call me.
But [C] I wonder why you [F] don't call me.
[C] Why don't you ever [G] call me darling?
[F] [C]
