I'm the guy who didn't marry pretty pamela brown Educated, well-intentioned, good girl in our town I wonder where i'd be today if she had loved me too Probably be driving kids to school (chorus) I guess i owe it all to pamela brown All of my good times and all my roamin' around One of these days i might come ramblin' through your town And i guess i owe it all to pamela brown I've seen the lights of cites and i've been inside their doors
I've sailed to foreign countries and i've walked upon their shores I guess the guy she married was the best part of my luck She dug him 'cause he drove a pick-up truck (chorus) I don't have to tell you just how beautiful she was Everything it takes to get a country boy in love Lord, i hope she's happy 'cause she sure deserves to be Especially for what she did for me (chorus)
