Tonight's entry is so bold as to even call itself the "perfect country and western song" ... because it includes a bonus verse (and who doesn't love a bonus verse) that finds a way to feature trains, trucks, prison and gettin' drunk -- also known as the key ingredients for country songs.
Of course, I did have to go back to "classic" country ... when I was only three years old ... to find the David Allen Coe version of "You Never Even Called Me By Name". I was prompted to do so after hearing it on a recent Thursday (that's the day for the Music Choice Classic Country station when I'm here working from home) ... but listening back to it tonight, I realize that I hear a snippet of it any time that we're playing cards with Shirly P (darlin').
Be sure to stick around for the grand finale (and just try not to shout it out loud):
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 my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train
THE BEST ... LYRICS ... EVER:
