Cole Deggs And The Lonesome - The One That Got Away lyrics

She calls herself Virginia, though her mama named her Jane. i know why she does it, she's scared of being plain... her arms are always open like a sanctuary door, she's got a way of makin me forget what i've been runnin for. shame what a shame that she's gonna be the one that got away from me. strange to look at her and see the one that got away from me. her face is like a picture someone painted years ago, you can guess at what she's thinkin', but ya never really know, her heart is like a river runnin' wild, wide and deep, it's always mine to borrow, but never mine to keep... shame what a shame that she's gonna be the one that got away from me. strange to look at her and see the one that got away from me. crazy i know, but i keep hoping one day, maybe, that i might change her mind. lately i get this sinkin' feelin' that it months it might be minutes, but i'm runnin' out of time. what a shame! She's the one that got away... I can't say for certain but i'd sure like to believe that i could make her happy, if she'd give that chance to me crazy i know, but i keep hoping one day, maybe, that i might change her mind. lately i get this sinkin' feelin' that it months it might be minutes, but i'm runnin' out of time. what a shame! She's the one that got away... yeah... the one that got away from me what a shame! the one that got away from me yeah she calls herself virginia but her mama named her jane
