Girl That Got Away by Erik Dylan Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You ever heard that crash of a ten pound bass?
Split back muddy water on a sundown cast
As he kisses the sky, spits that hook
Like he hopped off the page of a Hemingway book
You ever felt that rush in the headlight shine?
On a dirt road drag strip Friday night
See a checkered flag turn to junkyard parts
Tasted the dust of a faster car

[Chorus]
Well if you know that feelin'
If you've felt that sting
Well then you know that girl
That girl that got away

[Verse 2]
You ever seen a pawn shop D-18?
Hangin' there in the window wearin' them rusty old strings
You pinched every penny cuttin' other people's grass
Too little too late when you came back with cash
Just an empty space where that old guitar sat
[Chorus]
Well if you know that feelin'
If you've felt that sting
Well then you know that girl
That girl that got away

[Verse 3]
You ever had that best you ever had
Pack up her love, and never look back?
You're hangin' on to pride and words you didn't say
'Cause you're too damn stubborn to get in her way
She's movin' on, and you're watchin' her taillights fade

[Chorus]
Well if you know that feelin'
If you've felt that pain
Well then you know that girl
That girl that got away

[Outro]
And I know that feelin'
And I've felt that sting
'Cause I know that girl
That girl that got away
