The One That Got Away Lyrics By Jake Owen

    she rolled in
    my little sandy town
    she spent the summer there
    a couple houses down
    well it was magic in the air
    when she caught my eye
    we shared three short months
    and one long goodbye

    she was the one that got away
    the one that wrecked my heart
    i should’ve never let her go
    i should’ve begged her to stay
    she was the one that got away
    yeah the one that got away

    well she kissed my lips
    down on ocean drive
    she set my world on fire
    on the fourth of july
    we wrote our names in the sand
    under the starsoaked sky
    but it washed away like she did
    with the rising tide

    she was the one that got away
    the one that wrecked my heart
    i should’ve never let her go
    i should’ve begged her to stay
    she was the one that got away
    yeah the one that got away

    every summer that rolls around
    i’m looking over my shoulder
    wishing i could see her face
    wishing i could hold her

    she was the one that got away
    the one that wrecked my heart
    i should’ve never let her go
    i should’ve begged her to stay
    she was the one that got away
    yeah the one that got away

    yeah she was the one that got away
    the one that wrecked my heart
    i should’ve never let her go
    i should’ve begged her to stay
    she was the one that got away
    she was the one that got away
    she rolled in
    my little sandy town
    she spent the summer there
    a couple houses down
