Jim Patton and Sherry Brokus - Sally Brown

Sally Brown

I almost settled down with Sally Brown
First girl that I loved, from my hometown
Almost quit my wand’ring, almost put my guitar down
I’m glad now that she dumped me for that clown
So I never settled down with Sally Brown

I used to make the scene with Cindy Green
She was a model from a fashion magazine
She married Dan and Larry, I fell somewhere in between
I’m sure she’s some place living like a queen
Way above my means, that Cindy Green

I never was a ladies’ man
And I’m glad they got away
If I had not escaped their charms
I would not be here today
If I had given up my dreams
Changed my rambling ways
I would not have been the man
They wanted anyway
So I never settled down with Sally Brown

I almost spent my life with Annie White
But the moon and stars were not exactly right
I didn't measure up when I stood too close to the light
In some ways we were way too much alike
So I never spent my life with Annie White

I never was a ladies’ man
And I’m glad they got away
If I had not escaped their charms
I would not be here today
If I had given up my dreams
Changed my rambling ways
I would not have been the man
They wanted anyway
So I never settled down with Sally Brown
Or Cindy Green
Or Annie White
Not even Sally Brown
Remember Sally Brown?
From our hometown
I never settled down
I never settled down
