Per David Allan Cole’s story about “you Never Even Call Me By My Name”..
Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that songAnd he told me it was the perfect country and western songI wrote him back a letterAnd I told him it was not the perfect country and western songBecause he hadn’t said anything at all about mama,Or trains,Or trucks,Or prison,Or getting’ drunkWell he sat down and wrote another verse to the songAnd he sent it to me,And after reading it,I realized that my friend had written the perfectCountry and western songAnd I felt obliged to include it on this albumThe last verse goes like this here:
Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prisonAnd I went to pick her up in the rainBut before I could get to the station in my pickup truckShe got runned over by a damned old train
