One That Got Away Songtext
von The Rainmakers

Ever since I walked, I′ve heard men talk about the one that got away
I've heard old men call, I′ve seen young
Men crawl for the one that got away
In their darkest hours, you can hear them say
"I'd give all I've got for just one
More shot at the one that got away"

I was born on a Tuesday morning on a blue and sunny day
I grew up fast and I grew up crazy, and I didn′t have a lot to say
But I could feel it coming closer every day
And I grew older, watching over my shoulder for the one that got away

My daddy taught me how to work for a
Living, my mama taught me how to pray
I didn′t finish school, but I wasn't no
Fool, I learned about the world′s ways
Looking for a rainbow, and a place where I could stay
But more and more, I was looking for the one that got away


'Cause ever since I walked, I′ve heard
Men talk about the one that got away
I've heard old men call, I′ve seen young
Men crawl for the one that got away
In their darkest hours, you can hear them say
"I'd give all I've got for just one
More shot at the one that got away"

Well, I did this and I did that, I guess I did okay
I did whatever I had to do, did it in my own way
Whatever hand I drew, whatever hand I played
From place to place, I come face to face with the one that got away

When I stop, and someday I′ll stop and decide to put it all away
When I total up my winnings and my losings for the day
Nothing is for certain, but for certain, I will say
In my wildest dreams, there′s nothing
I've seen like the one that got away

In my wildest dreams, there′s nothing
I've seen like the one that got away
