I'm the guy that 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



I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown

All of my good times - all my roamin' around

One of these days I might be in your town

And I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown



Seen the lights of cities and been inside their doors

Sailed to foreign countries and 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 take to get a guy like me in love

Lord I hope she's happy cause she sure deserves to be

Especially for what she did for me



Chorus
