One That Got Away
VERSE 1
Sitting in a tree freezing on the last day of turkey season
No he don t think he ll get him a spring hen but he s got some Old Crow anyway
Big one goes by while he dreams of the waitress he forgot to pay
But there s plenty more where she came from he don t care about the one that got away
VERSE 2
Copper sits outside the Quick Mart scratching lotto tickets in his squad car
Taking a break from pointing his radar at drunk drivers on the interstate
Three scratch offs and one for the big game but he still can t retire today
But that crackhead who was standing right behind him can cause he bought the one that got away
VERSE 3
Fellow asked me and my buddy to drive a car across the country
Wasn t too sure but I sure needed the money me and my friend we said âokayâ
We popped the trunk at a rest stop found somebody in there starting to decay
Last month s big game ticket in his pocket too late for the one that got away
VERSE 4
Girl majors in history with an English minor she s got her notebook sitting right beside her
To pay tuition she s working at a diner serving drunk drivers on the interstate
She still dreams of the one with the bright blue eyes who told her she d be modeling someday
But he ran out on his check and he didn t leave a tip âgoddamnâ she says âthe ones that get awayâ
