 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
