I am 72 years old and this man has inspired me since I got out of Vietnam!
Best entertainer I ever saw. He could have an audience laughing then weeping if he wanted to. As good as his solo act was, tho, when he played with John Prine it was just pure magic. If there’s a heaven, Stevie was there to open the gates for John...with a couple of guitars.
Any youtube with him and John Prine? Two of the most underrated folk/country singers ever. I'd appreciate a link if there is one. But preface it with "hello in there" at my age.
@@skovner there are a couple videos of them doing “Souvenirs” together. If you search ‘Goodman Prine” on YT you’ll find some documentaries as well. Happy listening!
I don't think Steve ever sang this song quite the same way -- ever. That's just another reason we loved him so much. I never saw anyone who enjoyed performing as much as Steve Goodman, and I've seen A LOT of live music. I still miss him, and always will.
It's always good to watch the songwriter perform his song.
Went to high school with Steve, he could always blow the room away.
@@theangrytourist4022 In his junior year (1963) his band played Beatles songs for the winning candidate at the election assembly. The losing candidate was Hilary Rodham.
Awesome
So, I was in a folk group with two other guys, we were pretty dreadful but Bob got us an (unpaid) gig in the basement of a pizza place on Dempster. It was dreadful, too (When you finished your free peanuts you just dropped the shells on the floor. Made walking noisy.).
While we were waiting to come on, our instruments in the back, everyone was told, “Hey! Steve’s here!” and he came out playing my new Goya 12-string.
He’d just dropped by, ‘didn’t have an instrument, ‘was told told there was one available, picked mine.
I was blown away. It never sounded so good. Ever.
What a song 🎵 😍 👏 👌 🙌 ❤ 🎵 😍 👏 👌 awesome !!!!!!!!!
Wow that's awesome!loved Steve Goodman and still do 40 years later.
WAY better than any other version I have ever heard! Sometimes, the original is best!
If Steve was here in New York City I would say to him, “you’re the man”. One of the greatest artists of my generation. Rest In Peace man!
One of the all time greatest. God dammit God, we could have used a few more decades of Steve. My soul would have been in such better shape, if you had shared more, and I had heard more. God bless Steve! Thank you thank you thank you, my life was forever changed for the better, the first day I heard Steve Goodman.
me too
Steve Goodman was such a bonus when I stumbled upon John Prine.They are such a perfect genuine combo of great singing and wonderful lyrics.Love these guys !!!!😏🤗😎💓
I have been thinking of Steve a lot in the last few days in the wake of John Prine's death. Loved both of those guys and their music. I was reading a tribute to Prine by someone who recounted having dinner with him in his home last fall. At some point they were playing the jukebox and it started smoking. I suddenly thought OMG is that the same jukebox Steve Goodman gave him all those years ago? Bet it was. I love all the various versions of this song and all the variations on the story of how it came to be.
RUclips..you
Steve, the best. A shame he left us way too soon. Heard him in 1972 and thought, what a talent. Still love him.
Very nice, Steven! 😎👍
We need more of him live!!!!! Just recently discoverd him and i find him amazing! He puts joy in my soul, such a talent...RIP friend....
This is awesome. You can tell he's just having fun playing this one.
So much sadness right now here in The Canadian Maritimes and Steve can always make me smile . Thanks Steve :)
♥️♥️♥️
Thanks for this. Goodman was a truly Good Man and a great artist, entertainer and a great influence. Always full of life in his performances.
full of life for sure
Indeed, the best country song ever written or sang like Steve sang....The best. The best
Steve and John Prine co-wrote this song, but John declined a song credit. Steve bought John a jukebox when the royalty money started rolling in.
Miss him soooo & lotsa others I call them "my shooting stars" cuz they're here for a flash & give us soooo much! Thanx for the info RayNDeere
Best version ☝️
That's what Wiki says. I never realized just how much he did. So awesome. So much loss. Give me things that don't get lost, like a coin that won't get tossed, rolling home to you...
Because, they are real.

I hung around in the sun, the rain, the sleet, the snow until her new boyfriend finally came on out and pummeled me into paste, right there on the street corner! He broke my binoculars!!! God I still love that girl! Sometimes, love needs to be lampooned.
You Never Even Call Me By My Name - Steve Goodman
Lyrics:
It was all that I could do to keep from crying
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain
You’re the one who always tried to change me
And that is why I will always stay the same
Chorus:
But I’ll hang around as long as you will let me
I never minded standing in the rain
You don’t have to call me darlin’, Darlin’
But you never even call me by my name
You don’t have to call me Waylon Jennings
And you don’t have to call me Charley Pride
And you don’t have to call me Merle Haggard anymore
Even though you know you’re on my fightin’ side
Chorus
I’ve seen my name a few times in the phone book
And on the neon sign above the bar I used to own
And there’s only one thing that I’m really sure of
I’m going to hear it when my savior calls me home
Chorus
That’s where the song ends. But when David Allan Coe recorded this song, he demanded another verse with trucks, Mother, prison, trains and getting drunk.
And Steve Goodman wrote down a few verses with some replacing getting drunk with farms. So here’s the verse he uses for this video.
(Secret Last Verse)
Ever since the day my Mama went to prison
Ain’t nothing ‘round this farm has been the same
And you know that when they let her out last Tuesday
Then she drove her goddamn truck into a train
Chorus
Title: You Never Even Call Me By My Name
Artist: Steve Goodman
Songwriter: Steve Goodman, John Prine
Thanks for posting. Yes, each time he sang it, he changed it.
feelsgoodman

Think about the Moment In Time the song was sung the little second that he sang that song he enjoy this moment so much we get to hear it today many times if we want to thank you mr. Steve. Goodman
Thank God David Allen Cole Dave Goodman mr. John Prine Bonnie Raitt they all found each other Jimmy Buffett God blesses for their music
David Allan coe too lol
My twin brother Phil died may 4th ,while being sad ,I stumbled upon John Prine &his dear friend Steve Goodman on RUclips. Phil would LOVE these guys.Guess he did mental telepathy, so I would know them too...and boy,do I !! That cigarette that"s 9 mi long is getting a work out up there !!! Thanks so much RUclips !!!!!!😏🤗😎❤
Thank you You Tube for the gift of giving! Giving us not only John Prine, but Steve Goodman as well.The true dynamic duo..So good to see how much they really cared about their music ,their fans,families and each other. They are now resting comfortably in my head and have me mostly LOL with their clever lyrics..They are both the all time best ,I need no others !!!!
rying to get the perfect formula, excellent
woooooow
nice 'ole Steve is smashed here!
John said he refused writing credit because he thought they were just messing around writing a silly song. Says he don't regret it but I bet he does!
anybody else hear a little willie?
how can 6 people dislike this? Its hilarious!!!
they are too busy thinking about the sequoia up their ads that they don't have mental capacity for Steve's best
It's the Noname Family, Noam, Noel, Nolan, Noemie, Noah and Don't You. They were jealous of the title.
Communists
There's a beautiful lady I think about when I hear the song I shouldn't mention and night it's a better song than what he sang
What?
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
This concert was nine days after Phil Ochs took his own life.
Does Country Music realize that Mr. Goodman was making fun of them? Really? Not even after all this time? Certainly not the individual artists. The names are clearly homage. But, the industry? I imagine they think we're laughing with them. Is there a country song today without beer, brand named whiskey or blatant and coarse sexual references? Could somebody please show me. I used to love Country Music. I miss you, Steve.
Think of the song is almost being married
Did Johnny Cash record this?
definitely not in a stdio, but mb he sang it live or on his show once, not that i know if he did
If it aint David Allen Coe, i dont want it.
Not a fan of this silly version . I know it is his song but coe did it right
Nope Steve Goodman did
But you are kinda
@@patriots5028 and prine
It was always intended to be a parody of all country songs. And he wasn't wrong.
Steve Goodman was a storyteller and instead of playing the same song you always heard he would mix it up..He was a genius
Terrible...
thank you God for Steve Goodman
