Lyrics

She rolled in my little sandy town
She spent the summer there, a couple houses down
Well, it was magic in the air when she caught my eye
We shared three short months and one long goodbye
She was the one that got away
The one that wrecked my heart
I should've begged her to stay
She was the one that got away
Yeah, the one that got away
Well, she kissed my lips down on Ocean Drive
She set my world on fire on the fourth of July
We wrote our names in the sand under the star-soaked sky
But it washed away like she did with the rising tide
She was the one that got away
The one that wrecked my heart
I should've never let her go
I should've begged her to stay
She was the one that got away, yeah
Every summer that rolls around
I'm looking over my shoulder
Wishing I could see her face
Wishing I could hold her
She was the one that got away
The one that wrecked my heart
I should've never let her go
I should've begged her to stay
She was the one that got away, yeah
She was the one that got away
Yeah, she wrecks my heart
I should've never let her go
I should've begged her to stay
She was the one that got away
She was the one that got away
She rolled in my little sandy town
She spent the summer there
A couple houses down
