Jerrod Niemann - The One That Got Away lyrics

rate me

There we were just small town fools

Learning more from each other than we did in school

Living on love, a couple bucks and an old Ford truck

We graduated, had the summer to kill

Spent most of our nights parked in a wheat field

Time flew by, with September came goodbye

She promised me she'd come back someday

She's still the one that got away

Still got a way of making me feel

Like I'm eighteen and the world's standing still

Tailgates down, no one's around for days

Still got a way of touching my skin like

I haven't felt since way back when

Oh, what I'd give to have her here today

She's still the one that got away

I'm not sure who's to blame

From that moment on it was never the same

Soon we were through

I heard she found someone new

When I look back it tears me apart

She took my leather jacket and a piece of my heart

And I wonder if I ever cross her mind

It's been years, feels like yesterday

She's still the one that got away

Still got a way of making me feel

Like I'm eighteen and the world's standing still

Tailgates down, no one's around for days

Still got a way of touching my skin like

I haven't felt since way back when

Oh, what I'd give to have her here today

She's still the one that got away

She's still the one that got away

There we were just small town fools

Learning more from each other than we did in school

Living on love, a couple bucks and an old Ford truck
