    Sometimes it seemed so useless to remain... but you don't have to call me "darlin", darlin...
  • GoChiefs
    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,

    WELL, A FRIEND OF MINE NAMED STEVE GOODMAN WROTE THAT SONG
    AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE PERFECT COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG
    I WROTE HIM BACK A LETTER AND I TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT THE PERFECT COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG BECAUSE HE HADN'T SAID ANYTHING AT ALL 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 & 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 MY PICKUP TRUCK
    SHE GOT RUNNED OVER BY A DAMNED OLD TRAIN

    NO, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN, DARLIN
    YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME
    WELL I WONDER WHY YOU DON'T CALL ME
    WHY DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME BY MY NAME
