You Never Even Call Me By My Name
Well it was all I could do to keep from cryin'Some times it seems so useless to remainYou're the one who always tried to change meAnd that is why I will always stay the sameBut I'll hang around as long as you will let meI never minded standing in the rainYou don't have to call me darlin', darlin'But you never even call me by my nameNo, you don't have to call me Waylon JenningsYou don't have to call me Charlie PrideYou don't have to call me Merle Haggard anymoreEven though you know you're on my fighting sideWell, I've seen my name, a few times in the phone bookAnd on the neon sign above the bar I used to ownAnd there's only one thing I'm really sure of wasI'm gonna hear it when my savior calls me homeEver since the dog got drunk and died and mama went to prisonAin't nothin' round this old farm that's been the sameAnd you know when mom broke out last ChristmasShe drove the goddamn getaway laundry truck right into a train
