"She Got Run Over By a Damned Old Train!"
David Allan Coe
...Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
And he told me it was the perfect country & western songI wrote him back a letter and I told him it was not the perfect country & western songBecause he hadn't said anything at all about mamaOr trains, or trucks, or prison, or getting' drunkWell, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to meAnd after reading it I realized that my friend had written the perfect country & western songAnd I felt obliged to include it on this albumThe last verse goes like this here
Well, I was drunk the day my mama got out of prisonAnd I went to pick her up in the rain...But before I could get to the station in my pickup truckShe got run over by a damned old train!
And I will hang around as long as you will let me.And I never minded standing' in the rain, noBut you don't have to call me darlin', Darlin'You never even called me...(Well, I wonder why you don't call me...)
Why don't you ever call me by my name?
