PAMELA BROWN
Tom T. Hall

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, [or "be in"]*
And I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown.

I've seen the lights of cities 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 pickup truck. CHORUS

I don't have to tell you just how beautiful she was:
Everything it takes to get a country boy in love. [or "guy like me"]*
Lord, I hope she's happy 'cause she sure deserves to be,
Especially for what she did for me. CHORUS
