I've seen girls pretty as they can be But what good do pretty girls do for me, yeah Oh, they only put me down Give me the run around I'm leaving town I'm homeward bound
To Terri Hope she'll marry me The boy who should never have left her
Her smile would brighten up my day When I was lost she'd always show me the way But I wanted fame and wealth I thought only of myself I made her cry I said goodbye
To Terri Hope she'll marry me The boy who should never have left her
Just drive a mile and I'll be home I'll say I'm sorry Terri and I'm so alone I can see the church where we used to go Oh, oh, no it can't be so They're throwing rice at a girl I know It's Terri She just got married She left the boy who should never have left her
