 Posted: 02/13/03 - 15:41 Post subject: Perfect Country Song
Not a huge country fan, but was just thinkin' about a friend of mine who used to sing this as every "Event" (wedding, fraternity formal etc )
"Well, a friend of mine, Steve Goodman, wrote this song
and he said it was the perfect country and western song.
I wrote him back a letter and told him that it was not the
perfect country-western song because he hadn't said anything
at all about Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or getting
drunk. 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-western song, and I
felt obliged to include it on this album. The last verse goes
like this here:"
Well I was drunk the day my Momma 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
My Momma, she got run over by a damned old train
So I'll hang around just as long as you will let me
'Cause I never minded standing in the rain
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
But you never even call me...
I wonder why you don't call me...
Why don't you even call me by my name?

this song reminds me of many a drunken night at my favorite college hangout in Milwaukee (in case your counting that's in WI, not MO), the harp and shamrock...
go figure that you'd have to hang out at an Irish Neighborhood bar to hear the perfect country song...

I spent many a night at college drinking to DAC with some of my Fraternity buddies.
(I have never been in Missouri and I don't even think I have been close to the state unless you count Driving into Illinois?)
