C
Well a friend of mine named Steve 
Goodman wrote that song
                G
And he told me it was the perfect 
country and western song.
I wrote him back a letter and told 
him
It was not the perfect country and 
western song
                  C
Because he hadn't said anything at 
all about mama
          G                     C 
Or trains   or trucks or prison   
                 G
or gettin' drunk
                 C
Well he sat down and wrote another 
verse to the 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:

[Cuarta Parte]

           C                G     
Well I was drunk the day my mom 
         C
got out of prison
      C                G         
And I went to pick her up in the 
C       C7
rain
      F                      
But before I could get to the 
              C      Am
station in a pickup truck
D7                                
 She got run'd over by a damned 
  G     G7
old train

[Estribillo]

        F7M                        
So I'll hang around as long as you 
      C
will let me
                  G                
and I never minded standing in the 
C     C7
rain
    F7M                      
But you don't have to call me 
        C
darlin', darlin'
    C          G
You never even call me
       C                    F
Well I wonder why you don't call me
    C              G             
Why don't you ever call me by my 
F7M   C
name?
