You Never Even Called Me by My Name [OST Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa]
Well it was all that I could do to keep from crying Sometimes it seems so useless to remain But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin' You never even called me by my name
You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride And you don't have to call me Merle Haggard anymore Or even though you're on my fightin' side
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me And I never minded standin' in the rain But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin' You never even called me by my name
Well I've heard my name a few times in your phone book (Hello, hello) And I've seen it on signs where I've played But the only time I know I'll hear David Allan Coe Is when Jesus has his final Judgment Day
So, I'll hang around as long as you will let me And I never minded standin' in the rain But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin' You never even called me by my name
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 I told him it was not the Perfect country and western song because he hadn't said Anything at all about momma or trains or trucks or prison or gettin' drunk
Well he sat down and wrote another verse to this 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 out of prison And I went to pick her up in the rain But before I could get to the station in the pick-up truck She got runned over by a damned old train
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me And I never minded standin' in the rain And you don't have to call me darlin', darlin' You never even called me, well I wondered why you don't call me? Why don't you ever call me by my name?
