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 never let her go 
I should 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 never let her go 
I should 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 never let her go 
I should begged her to stay 
She was the one that got away 
Yeah she was the one that got away 
The one that wrecked my heart 
I should never let her go 
I should 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
