The One That Got Away
I was 7, she was 9
We stuck together like a fish hooked on a line
Sayin' sticks and stones will break my bones
Baby I got your back
We were friends and that was that
I turned 8, she turned 10
I fell in love with my best friend
Sayin' step on a crack, break your mamma's back
I trip myself to make you laugh
I love to see you smile
Yeah, when we were young it was nice to know
That your best friend lived just down the road
Days last forever as a child
Remember that time that we made lemonade
And sold it in the yard
The day you broke the news that broke my heart
The day you broke the news that broke my heart
I woke up the next morning
Just broke down and cried
Saw the moving van sitting in your drive
I never wanted to hear nobody say
You were the one that got away
19 years old and 21
I'm still in Georgia, she's in Austin
Now I drink all night, I sleep all day
Try to wash this pain away
I couldn't shake it if I tried
Yeah, when we were young it was nice to know
That your best friend lived just down the road
Days last forever as a child
Remember that time that we made lemonade
And sold it in the yard
The day you broke the news that broke my heart
The day you broke the news that broke my heart
I woke up the next morning
Just broke down and cried
Had a dream about that moving van
Pulling out your drive
Lord, I get tired of hearing people say
You were the one that got away
27 and 29
I still think about her all of the time
Now these sticks and stones done broke my bones
Baby I got your back
Love is love and that's that
Yeah, when we were young it was nice to know
That your best friend lived just down the road
Days last forever as a child
Remember that time that we made lemonade
And sold it in the yard
The day you broke the news that broke my heart
The day you broke the news that broke my heart
I woke up this morning
Just broke down and cried
Saw the moving van from Texas
Pulling in your drive
I always wanted to look at you and say
You were the one that got away
You got away
I shouldn't have let you get away
We stuck together like a fish hooked on a line
Sayin' sticks and stones will break my bones
Baby I got your back
We were friends and that was that
I turned 8, she turned 10
I fell in love with my best friend
Sayin' step on a crack, break your mamma's back
I trip myself to make you laugh
I love to see you smile
Yeah, when we were young it was nice to know
That your best friend lived just down the road
Days last forever as a child
Remember that time that we made lemonade
And sold it in the yard
The day you broke the news that broke my heart
The day you broke the news that broke my heart
I woke up the next morning
Just broke down and cried
Saw the moving van sitting in your drive
I never wanted to hear nobody say
You were the one that got away
19 years old and 21
I'm still in Georgia, she's in Austin
Now I drink all night, I sleep all day

Yeah, when we were young it was nice to know

The day you broke the news that broke my heart
The day you broke the news that broke my heart

You were the one that got away
You got away
I shouldn't have let you get away
