Wonder where I would be workin'
Would I be a nice lady's husband
A couple kids I never wanted
Back in that small town
I'd probably be the one sittin' there in the back pew
Preacher man sharing what he swearing is good news
And I'd still be holding onto who I'm supposed to be in a small town
I'd be a little lost
So thank God
I was the one that got away
The one that got out
Left who I thought I aughtta to be back in that town
It's not that I don't love
The place where I was raised
But who knows who I would've been if I would've stayed
So I'm the one that got away
Sure wouldn't be with a man who loves me
Strummin each night on this 6 string
Would've never found this freedom feeling
Back in that small town
I've got all I want
So thank God
I was the one that got away
The one that got out
Left who I thought I aughtta to be back in that town
It's not that I don't love
The place where I was raised
But who knows who I would've been if I would've stayed
So I'm the one that got away
The one that got away
I was the one that got away
And finally figured out I had to love myself enough to get out of that town
I was the one that got away
The one that got out
Left who I thought I aughtta to be back in that town
It's not that I don't love
The place where I was raised
But who knows who I would've been if I would've stayed
That's why I'm the one that got away
Yeah I'm the one that got away
