 Intro  x2
 But I prefer:  x4
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
 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
 She was the one that got away
 ( )
 She rolled in
 My little sandy town
 She spent the summer there
 A couple houses down
