Perpetual Pam
© Jim Molinelli
[Verse 1]
Pam grew up on top of the hill…
As a kid she did what all kids will,
Five blocks below, the church bell rang,
At the outer edge of everything.
Pam don’t know, what she don’t know yet,
Sidewalk chalk and an old swing set,
One mile circle, safe and sound,
Her whole wide world in a small-town round.
[Chorus]
Perpetual Pam keeps on goin’ around,
Lovin' life in her old home town.
Never felt the need to travel or roam.
Perpetual Pam loves her small-town home.
Round and round…
Up and down…
Safe and sound…
In the old home town!
[Verse 2]
Ten miles out till the workday ends,
Ten miles out to family and friends,
Pam don’t wander past the county line,
Her road ends the same place every time.
Pam goes where she’s always goin’,
Jefferson Rock, with the same wind blowin’,
Ten mile circle, no goodbyes,
Not much changes as the years glide by.
[Chorus]
Perpetual Pam keeps on goin’ around,
Lovin' life in her old home town.
Never felt the need to travel or roam.
Perpetual Pam loves her small-town home.
Round and round…
Up and down…
Safe and sound…
In the old home town!
[Verse 3]
Pam still walks those same old roads,
Familiar shops, and the old railroad,
She knows each bend on every street,
Same pace of life, the same drumbeat.
Pam still goes where she’s always goin’,
Jefferson Rock, but she’s slower goin’
Ten mile circle, so calm and true,
Yet every day brings something new.
[Chorus]
Lovin’ life in the old home town,
Perpetual Pam keeps on goin’ around.
Never felt the need to travel or roam.
Perpetual Pam loves her small-town home.
Round and round…
Up and down…
Safe and sound…
In the old home town!
Round and round…
Up and down…
Safe and sound…
In her old home town!
