Easy song, great sing along.
It was all that I could do to keep from cryin
sometimes it seems so useless to remain
You don t have to call me darlin , darlin
You never even call me by my name.
You don t have to call me Waylon Jennings
And you don t have to call me Charlie Pride.
You don t have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore.
Even though your on my fightin side.
CHORUS
And I ll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin in the rain.
You don t have to call me darlin , darlin
You never even call me by my name.
I ve heard my name a few times in your phone book
I ve seen it on signs where I ve laid
But the only time I know, I ll hear David Allan Coe
Is when Jesus has his final judgement day.
CHORUS:
Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
IAnd I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
IShe 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.
You don t have to call me darlin , darlin
You never even call me, I wonder why you don t call me
Why don t you ever call me by my name.
