The One That Got Away Lyrics - Singles - Cole Deggs And 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 makin me forget what i've been runnin for. 

shame what a 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 thinkin', but ya never really know, 

her heart is like a river runnin' wild, wide and deep, 

it's always mine to borrow, but never mine to keep... 

shame what a 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, that i might change her mind. 

lately i get this sinkin' feelin' that it months it might be minutes, but i'm runnin' 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, that i might change her mind. 

lately i get this sinkin' feelin' that it months it might be minutes, but i'm runnin' out of time. 

what a shame! She's the one that got away... 

yeah... the one that got away from me 

what a shame! the one that got away from me 

yeah she calls herself virginia but her mama named her jane
