Lyrics
You were the childhood love of mine
My biggest mistake
I had it all planned out in my head
But you were the one that got away
There was a time that I believed
We’d spend the rest of our days
Dancing under the stars in the desert
Only the moon to light our way
I’m not one to stay in one place
To be stranded in this ghost town
Come with me and we’ll make the chase
From your drunken father’s shakedown
There are rivers wide and mountains to climb
Through fields of color and grey
He can’t hold you here forever
So be the one that got away
Be the one, Be the one, Be the one
Be the one, Be the one that got away
Be the one, Be the one, Be the one
Be the one, Be the one that got away
I was pushed away that strange day
Left to my own
I had no lover to turn to
No life to call my own
Be the one, Be the one, Be the one
Be the one, Be the one that got away
Be the one, Be the one, Be the one
Be the one, Be the one that got away
Be the one, Be the one, Be the one
Be the one, Be the one that got away
Be the one, Be the one, Be the one
Be the one, Be the one that got away
