great find!
thanks!
And here I was thinking it was all about prison, momma, dogs, pickup trucks and cold beer & hot girls... not necessarily in that order.

You're spot on and in fact proven by Steve Goodman when he add the final verse to David Allen Coe's song You Never Even Called me by my Name, thus making it the perfect country song:

Let's be accurate about this...

It is not "...David Allen Coe's song You Never Even Called me by my Name"

The song was written by Steve Goodman and John Prine. So it is actually "Steve Goodman and John Prine's song"... (made famous by David Allen Coe). Songwriter's don't get enough credit as it is... Let's not give their songs away to someone else.

Yes, of course you're right. I meant to say that DAC sang the song. I did not mean to imply that he wrote it but after rereading my message I can see where one would get the idea that DAC did write it. My bad.


I always found this funny.
Have you noticed it tends to usually be list of 5 things? That said, this was a pretty good list, although I think there can definitely be more factors than just five. To his credit he did technically take five topics and break them down further.

Anyways! Thanks for sharing.
