The Night that Got Away
I was playing my old guitar on Bourbon Street at Mardi Gras
It was a bar full of 10's but she was the only one I saw
She had them black blue jeans and leopard tank top
A little Louis purse with the leather wearing off
Oh but the way she smiled at me had me forgetting
The words to the song that I was singing
I wonder if she remembers it
Like the time I can't seem to forget
When the night ran out she left town
And ever since then I miss
Her sweet smile her red lips
Her dancing around and shaking her hips
Man she really did me in
I wish that I could save
The night that got away
I swear she shot me a smile a couple times from across the room
And I thought I hope she stays long enough for me to make my move
She sang Rocky Top with all of her friends
They were dancing to Sweet Caroline
Then made her way up to the stage and put her hand in mine
I wonder if she remembers it
Like the time I can't seem to forget
When the night ran out she left town
And ever since then I miss
Her sweet smile her red lips
Her dancing around and shaking her hips
Man she really did me in
I wish that I could save
The night that got away
Her sweet smile her red lips
Her dancing 'round and shaking her hips
I wonder if she remembers it
Like the time I can't seem to forget
When the night ran out she left town
And ever since then I miss
Her sweet smile her red lips
Her dancing around and shaking her hips
Man she really did me in
I wish that I could save
The night that got away
It was a bar full of 10's but she was the only one I saw
She had them black blue jeans and leopard tank top
A little Louis purse with the leather wearing off
Oh but the way she smiled at me had me forgetting
The words to the song that I was singing
I wonder if she remembers it
Like the time I can't seem to forget
When the night ran out she left town
And ever since then I miss
Her sweet smile her red lips
Her dancing around and shaking her hips
Man she really did me in
I wish that I could save
The night that got away
I swear she shot me a smile a couple times from across the room
And I thought I hope she stays long enough for me to make my move
She sang Rocky Top with all of her friends
They were dancing to Sweet Caroline
Then made her way up to the stage and put her hand in mine
I wonder if she remembers it
Like the time I can't seem to forget
When the night ran out she left town
And ever since then I miss
Her sweet smile her red lips
Her dancing around and shaking her hips
Man she really did me in
I wish that I could save
The night that got away
Her sweet smile her red lips
Her dancing 'round and shaking her hips
I wonder if she remembers it
Like the time I can't seem to forget
When the night ran out she left town
And ever since then I miss
Her sweet smile her red lips
Her dancing around and shaking her hips
Man she really did me in
I wish that I could save
The night that got away
