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 never let her go 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 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 wrecked 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
