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)
