Best Country Lyrics Ever?

[fightingquaker13]

Ok, I was going through some old boxes. Some of which yielded Crusader's sweet deal on ammo. This one is just an agenda for the Southwest
Political Science Association meeting. However, There was a a panel called "Country Music and the State of the Discipline". One of the papers focused on country music titles and their political ramifications (and yes folks it was all tongue in cheek, no need for academic bashing).
My three favorites! What are yours?

"I turned 21 in Prison Doing Life Without Parole" (Momma Tried) Merle Haggard

"Get Your Tongue Out of My Mouth, I'm kissing you Goodbye" John Denver

Then There's "I Didn't Hear Nobody Pray" or "Wreck on the Highway' This by the Waco Brothers, My Style.

Straight up old school? Here's Dorsey Dixon Keeping it real

Didn't some one call this one the best country music song ever?

Ok found what I was looking for on Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Never_Even_Called_Me_by_My_Name


"You Never Even Called Me by My Name" is accompanied mainly by resonator guitar, pedal steel guitar and electric guitar. In the song, the narrator addresses a former lover, who has rejected him to the point that he considers it "useless to remain."[2]  The song's final verse is preceded by a recitation in which Coe explains that "a friend of [his] named Steve Goodman" wrote the song and considered it "the perfect country and western song."[3]  He goes on to say that Goodman added the final verse after Coe told him that it was not the perfect country song because it "hadn't said anything at all about mama, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or getting drunk."[4] In response to Coe's comment, Goodman wrote a satirical final verse that intentionally uses exaggerations of country music clichés.[2]

Yes, I believe that was said by David Allen Coe  

And you are all wrong, the best country lyrics ever were,
