I've heard my name a few times in your phone book
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 judgement day.

CHORUS...

then: the spoken part below has this played in the background:
(the numbers are complete bars)
C-2 G-4 C-2 G-2 C-1 G-1 and then C to finish out the rest.

 
CWell, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
               Gand 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
                                                Ccountry and western song because he hadn't said anything at all about
                  G                     C                 GMomma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin' drunk.
                  CWell, 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:
            C                G             CWell, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
                       G         CAnd I went to pick her up in the rain.
     F                                       C       AmBut, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
D                                   GShe got runned over by a damned old train.

CHORUS:

So I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin' in the rain. No,
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
          C              G          C                    FYou never even call me, I wonder why you don't call me
          C                  G             F        C        F GWhy don't you ever call me by my name.
