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

Seen the lights of cities and I've 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 pickup truck

I don't have to tell you just how beautiful she was

Everything it takes 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.
