The One That Got Away Songtext
von Cole Deggs & the Lonesome

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 making me forget
What I been running for

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 thinking
But you never really know
Her heart is like a river
Running wild and wide and deep
Its always mine to borrow
But never mine to keep

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
I might change her mind
Lately, I get this sinking feeling
It might be months it might be minutes
But I′m running 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
I might change her mind
Lately, I get this sinking feeling
It might be months it might be minutes
But I′m running out of time

What a shame
Yea, the one that got away from me
Woa, what a shame
The one that got away from me
Yea she calls herself Virgina
Woa, but her Mama named her Jane
