Tim Mcgraw - The One That Got Away lyrics

rate me

You got your head in your supper

And the eyes of your mother, baby

Locked on you

Everybody wants a piece of you, oh yeah

And your phone keeps ringing

Cause your cousin’s singing at the local bar

Everybody wants to be a star

Just like you are

You kept your face in the gutter for years

Kept your eyes on the road

You always felt you were meant for me

Baby now you know

Everybody wants a glimpse of the one that got away

Everybody wants to see you

And everybody wants to be you too

It’s funny how they put you down

But now they think you’re alright

And everybody loves you now that

You’re the one that got away

(the one that got away)

See you were raised in the town

Where the kids hang around the pizza hut parking lot

Everybody talks a lot, no one likes to do, no

And all the cub scout leaders at the local theaters

Said you couldn’t sing a song that well

You told ‘em all to go to hell

And went out on your own

You got a headshot picture to

Sell yourself to the world

You tucked your scars up under your dress

Like an american girl

Everybody wants a glimpse of the one that got away

Everybody wants to see you

And everybody wants to be you too

It’s funny how they put you down

But now they think you’re alright

And everybody loves you tonight

You’re the one that got away, yeah

Everybody wants a glimpse of the one that got away

Everybody wants to see you

And everybody wants to be you too

It’s funny how they put you down

But now they think you’re alright

And everybody loves you now that

You’re the one that got away

Everybody wants a glimpse of the one that got away

Everybody wants to see you

And everybody wants to be you too

It’s funny how they put you down

But now they think you’re alright

And everybody loves you now that

You’re the one that got away

(the one that got away)
