Steve Goodman - You Never Even Call Me by My Name lyrics
[Steve Goodman - You Never Even Call Me by My Name lyrics]
It was all that I could
Do to keep from cryin'
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain
You're the one who always tried to change me
And that is why I'll always stay the same
And I'll hang around as long
As you will let me
I never minded standin' in the rain
You don't have to call me "darlin'", darlin'
But, you never even call me by name
You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
No, you don't have to call me Charlie Pride
And you don't have to call
Me Merle Haggard anymore
Even though you know you're
On my fightin' side
And I'll hang around as long
As you will let me
I never minded standin' in the rain
You don't have to call me "darlin'", darlin'
But, you never even call me by name
C'mon now
I've seen my name a few
Times in the phonebook (Hello, hello, hello)
And on the neon sign above the
Bar I used to own
There is only one thing that
I'm really sure of i'm going to hear it when
My Savior calls me home
'Til that day I'm gonna hang around as
Long as you will let me
I never minded standin' in the rain
You don't have to call me "darlin'", darlin'
But, you never even call me by name
It's not her heart, Lord, it's her mind
She didn't mean to be unkind
And you never even call me by my name
Bye, baby
Do to keep from cryin'
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain
You're the one who always tried to change me
And that is why I'll always stay the same
And I'll hang around as long
As you will let me
I never minded standin' in the rain
You don't have to call me "darlin'", darlin'
But, you never even call me by name
You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
No, you don't have to call me Charlie Pride
And you don't have to call
Me Merle Haggard anymore
Even though you know you're
On my fightin' side
And I'll hang around as long
As you will let me
I never minded standin' in the rain
You don't have to call me "darlin'", darlin'
But, you never even call me by name
C'mon now
I've seen my name a few
Times in the phonebook (Hello, hello, hello)
And on the neon sign above the
Bar I used to own
There is only one thing that
I'm really sure of i'm going to hear it when
My Savior calls me home
'Til that day I'm gonna hang around as
Long as you will let me
I never minded standin' in the rain
You don't have to call me "darlin'", darlin'
But, you never even call me by name
It's not her heart, Lord, it's her mind
She didn't mean to be unkind
And you never even call me by my name
Bye, baby
