[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well, it was all that I [F] could [G] do to [C] keep from crying.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] Sometimes it seems so useless _ [C] to remain.
_ _ _ _ [F] But you don't have to call me [C] darling, _ _ _ darling. _ _
You never even [G] call me by [C] my name.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ You don't have [G] to call me [C] Waylon Jennings. _ _ _ _ _ _
And you don't [G] have to call me [C] Charlie Price. _ _ _ _ _
[F] And you don't have to call [C] me Merle Haggard _ [Am] anymore. _
[D] _ _ Even though you're on my fighting [G] _ side. _ _ _
[F] And I'll _ _ fight as long as you [C] will let me.
_ And _ I never _ _ [G] minded standing in [C] the _ rain. _ _
_ [F] But you don't have to call me [C] darling, _ _ darling. _
_ You never _ [G] even call me by [C] my name.
_ [G] _ _
_ [C] Well, I've heard my name [G] a few times [C] in your phone book. _ _ _
And I've seen it _ [G] on signs [C] where I'm free.
_ [A] _ [C] _
_ [F] But the only time I [Bb] know [F] _ [C] I'll hear [Em] David Allen [Am] call
_ is when Jesus has [D] his final [G] judgment laid. _ _
So [F] I'll hang around as long as you [C] will let me. _ _ _
_ And I never _ _ [G] minded standing in the [C] _ rain. _ _
[D] _ _ [F] But you don't have to call me [C] darling, _ _ _ darling.
_ You never _ [G] even call me by [C] my _ name.
[G] _ _
_ _ [C] Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song.
And he [G] 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 [C] hadn't said anything at all about mama, or trains, [G] or trucks, _ or presents, _ [C] or getting drunk.
_ [G] _ _
Well, he [C] 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. _ _
Well, I was drunk _ the day [G] my mom got [C] out of prison. _ _ _ _
_ And I went to [G] pick her up _ [C] in the rain. _ _ _
_ [F] But before _ I could get to the station [C] in the pick _ -up truck,
[Am] She [D] _ _ got run over by a damn [G] old train. _ _ _
And [F] I'll _ _ hop as long as you [C] will let me. _ _ _ _
And I never _ _ [G] minded standing [C] in the rain. _ _ _
_ [F] Now you don't have to call me darling.
[C] _ _ _ Darling. _
_ You never [G] even called me.
But [C] I wonder why you [F] don't call me.
Why [C] don't you [G] ever call me darling?
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
