The One That Got Away Lyrics

Wonder where I would be workin'

Would I be a nice lady's husband

A couple kids I never wanted

Back in that small town

I'd probably be the one sittin' there in the back pew

Preacher man sharing what he swearing is good news

And I'd still be holding onto who I'm supposed to be in a small town

I'd be a little lost

So thank God

I was the one that got away

The one that got out

Left who I thought I aughtta to be back in that town

It's not that I don't love

The place where I was raised

But who knows who I would've been if I would've stayed

So I'm the one that got away

Sure wouldn't be with a man who loves me

Strummin each night on this 6 string

Would've never found this freedom feeling

Back in that small town

I've got all I want

So thank God

I was the one that got away

The one that got out

Left who I thought I aughtta to be back in that town

It's not that I don't love

The place where I was raised

But who knows who I would've been if I would've stayed

So I'm the one that got away

The one that got away

I was the one that got away

And finally figured out I had to love myself enough to get out of that town

I was the one that got away

The one that got out

Left who I thought I aughtta to be back in that town

It's not that I don't love

The place where I was raised

But who knows who I would've been if I would've stayed

That's why I'm the one that got away

Yeah I'm the one that got away
