The verse that made "You Don't Have to Call Me Darling" the perfect country song:

I was drunk the night my ma got out of prison,
And I went to pick her up in the rain,
But I was late gettin' to the station in my pickup truck,
And she got herself run'd over by a danged old train.

But personally, I think the perfect country song is "Wild Side of Life (Honky-Tonk Angels):

You don't read the letters that I write you,
You told me not to call you on the phone,
But there's one thing I still have to tell you,
So I wrote it in the words of this song.

I didn't know God made honky-tonk angels;
I should have known you'd never make a wife.
You gave up the only man who ever loved you,
And went back to the wild side of life.

The glitter of that gay nightlife has lured you
To the places where the wine and whiskey flow,
Where you wait to be someone else's lover,
And forget the truest love you'll ever know.

I didn't know God...etc.

If you don't know the song, it's to the tune of "I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue-eyes," a slight variation of "The Great Speckled Bird."
