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

And I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown
All of my good times and all my roaming around
One of these days I might come rambling through your town
And I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown

I've sailed to foreign countries and I've walked upon their shores
I've seen the lights of cities and I've been inside their doors
I guess the guy she married is the best part of my luck
She dug him 'cause he drove a pickup truck

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 [F         C]happy she sure deserves to be
Especially for what she did for me

And I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown
All of my good times and all my roaming around
One of these days I might come rambling through your town
And I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown
