(Well a man named Steve Goodman wrote that song and he told me it was the perfect country and western song. 
I wrote him back and told him it was not the perfect country and western song because it didn?t say 
anything at all about mama or trains or trucks or prison or gettin' drunk. Well he sat down and wrote another 
verse to the song and after reading it I realized that he had written the perfect country and western song.
So I feel obliged to sing it. 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 a pickup truck
(D)                                    (G)
She got run'd over by a damned old train
         (F)                          (C)          
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me 
                 (G)            (C)
and I never minded standing in the rain.
    (F)                      (C)     (Am)
But you don't have to call me darlin' darlin'
