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 I told him it was not the
Perfect country and western song because he hadn’t said
Anything at all about momma or trains or trucks or prison or gettin’ drunk

Well he sat down and wrote another verse to this 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 my mom got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in the pick-up truck
She got runned over by a damned old train

And I’ll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin’ in the rain
And you don’t have to call me darlin’, darlin’
You never even called me, well I wondered why you don’t call me?
Why don’t you ever call me by my name?

David Allan Coe - You Never Even Call Me By My Name Lyrics

For those of you who want immediate notice (or fair warning) of my future songs, I'm starting a Hopalong Ginsberg Ping List. Please contact me to get on or off the list.

A Three minute warning would be great, please.
Your last song was a hit with those i played it to.

First off, it's 4:48 seconds too long.

Second: Well...I couldn't write about second...it would take too long.

Third:You're third finger on the G chord is slightly too behind the fret, making my cats scream in undeniable pain.

Also anything passing for a D or A7. Tho I did like your accidental attempt for playing a diminished 6th.

Otherwise I liked it

My college experience was spent in engineering and tech schools. Unless you had a fetish for HP calculators, you’d probably want to pass on the local groupies.
