Country music icon and outlaw David Allan Coe is best known for his 1975 hit You Never “Even Called Me By My Name,” but the story behind the song is more than meets the eye. Most assume the song was written solely by Steve Goodman, but that’s not the case. There’s one key detail many fans don’t know.
