It was Gall that I could Ddo to keep from Gcryin' SomeCtimes it seems so Duseless to reGmain CYou don't have to Dcall me darlin',G darEmlin' You Gnever even Dcall me by my Cname G
GYou don't have to Dcall me Waylon GJennings And Cyou don't have to Dcall me Charlie GPride And Cyou don't have to Dcall me Merle GHaggard...anyEmmore A7 Even though you're on my fightin' Dside
Chorus:
And I'll Chang around as long as you will Glet me 'Cause I Cnever minded Dstandin' in the Grain CYou don't have to Dcall me Darlin',G DarEmlin' But you Gnever even Dcall me by my Cname G
Well I've Gseen my name a Dfew times in your Gphone book And I've Cseen it on the Dsigns where I've Gplayed But the Conly time I Dknow I'll Ghear "David AEmllen Coe" Is when A7Jesus has his final judgement Dday
Chorus: So I'll hang around... Talk: "Well, a friend of mine, Steve Goodman, wrote this song and he said it was the perfect country and western song. I wrote him back a letter and told him that it was not the perfect country-western song because he hadn't said anything at all about Momma, 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-western song, and I felt obliged to include it on this album. The last verse goes like this here:"
Well I was Gdrunk the day my DMomma got out of Gprison And I Cwent to pick her Dup in the Grain But Cbefore I could Dget to the station in my Gpickup Emtruck My A7Momma, she got run over by a damned old Dtrain
Chorus:
So I'll Chang around just as Dlong as you will Glet me 'Cause I Cnever minded Dstanding in the Grain CYou don't have to Dcall me darlin',G darEmlin' But you Gnever even Dcall me... I Gwonder why you don't Emcall me... Why Gdon't you even Dcall me by my Cname' G
