(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 told him It was not the percfect country and western song Because he hadn't said anything at all about mama Or trains or trucks or prison or gettin' 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 and western song And I felt at last obliged to itself the last verse goes like this here)
(C) (G) (C)Well I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
(F) (G) (C)And I went to pick her up in the rain
(F) (G) (C) (Am)But before I could get to the station in a pickup truck
(D) (G) She got run'd over by a damned old train
(C) (G) (C) And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
(F) (G) (C)and I never minded standing in the rain.
(F) (G) (C) (Am)But you don't have to call me darlin' darlin'

(C) (Am) well I wonder why you don't call me,
