Ponte:

Well a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
G+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 majorC
Because he hadn't said anything at all about mama
G+G C majorC G+G
Or trains or trucks or prison or gettin' drunk
C majorC
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:
Quarta Parte:
C majorC G+G C majorC
Well I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
C majorC G+G C majorC C7C7
And I went to pick her up in the rain
FF C majorC A minorAm
But before I could get to the station in a pickup truck
D7D7 G+G G7G7
She got run'd over by a damned old train
Refrão:
F7M C majorC
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me
G+G C majorC C7C7
and I never minded standing in the rain
F7M C majorC
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
C majorC G+G
You never even call me
C majorC FF
Well I wonder why you don't call me
C majorC G+G F7M C majorC
