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
