J.j. Cale - The Woman That Got Away lyrics

rate me

Well, I've been out on the street since yesterday Been looking for the woman that got away A long-legged thing with a red dress on The kind of woman you can't leave alone Listen, if you see her, send her my way Looking for the woman that got away The last time I seen her she was looking good I had a feeling that she understood She slipped through my fingers in the middle of the night I've gotta find my woman and treat her right Listen, if you see her, send her my way Looking for the woman that got away If I ever get my hands on that woman again I'm gonna lock my door and keep her in She won't do no travelling, won't follow me 'round I'm gonna keep my woman and leave town
