McGraw, Tim - The One That Got Away Lyrics
You got your head in your supper
And the eyes of your mother, baby
Locked on you
Everybody wants a piece of you, oh yeah
And your phone keeps ringing
Everybody wants to be a star
Just like you are
You kept your face in the gutter for years
Kept your eyes on the road
You always felt you were meant for more
Baby now you know
Everybody wants a glimpse of the one that got away
Everybody wants to see you
It's funny how they put you down
But now they think you're alright
And everybody loves you now that
You're the one that got away
(The one that got away)
See you were raised in the town
Where the kids hang around the Pizza Hut parking lot
Everybody talks a lot, no one likes to do, no
And all the cub scout leaders at the local theaters
Said you couldn't sing a song that well
You told ‘em all to go to hell
And went out on your own
You got a headshot picture to
Sell yourself to the world
You tucked your scars up under your dress
Like an American girl
Everybody wants a glimpse of the one that got away
Everybody wants to see you
And everybody wants to be you too
It's funny how they put you down
But now they think you're alright
And everybody loves you tonight
You're the one that got away, yeah
Everybody wants a glimpse of the one that got away
Everybody wants to see you
They all wanna be you too
It's funny how they put you down
But now they think you're alright
And everybody loves you now that
You're the one that got away
Everybody wants a glimpse of the one that got away
Everybody wants to see you
And everybody wants to be you too
It's funny how they put you down
But now they think you're alright
And everybody loves you now that
You're the one that got away
(The one that got away)

McGraw, Tim The One That Got Away Comments
My man Dave wrote this and performed this years before Dave Pahanish must of sold him the writes. Without you by Keith Urban was written by Dave as well. Dave is from the Pittsburgh area.
Eoin Doyle’s song to Bradford city seeming he is now back at Swindon town 🤣🤣
I had a love of my life,
Sums up my life Really Well,
Love Love this Song great Song Tim 💓💓💓💓
Ivebeen wanting to meet him in person and that's my #1 wish forever til it comes true ...😔
Tim has mentioned a couple of times that he would listen to a song and know that someone else did it,but he would wait sometimes a year or two before recording it. I like his version. but I am a Tim fan anyway.
This wasn't written by him. It was written by Dave Pahanish.
musicfan719 Pahanish does it better in my opinion. Of course writers put more heart into the song.
The inspiration was Dave Panhanish's, as he is the one who wrote the song along with Joe West. check out Dave's version on YouTube. It is far superior to Tim Mcgraw's!
nuca avia escuhado esta musica y la verdad esta buena es trankila (Y)
What a Song, Top Man Tim !!!
sorry baby,,you're sadly mistaking..you see this song was written for Raven.
But you can borrow it
LOVE the new album.
I agree with many others on this song....Tim does a great job, but the original done be Dave Pahanish is almost haunting....I saw Dave at this little dive bar in Nashville late last year...he was singing this song when i walked in....my GF and I sat and listened to him all night. ...and then i did something i have never done after seeing a live act, i bought 2 of his cds off of itunes. Dave Pahanish (w/West) also wrote "Right Back Atcha", and in my opinion, sang it the best.
Don't know why people are comparing this song with Katy Perry? Unless I've been completely misreading this song, the subject matter is completely different than Katy Perry's version
Seriously, you deserve a high-five.
in the face.
with a chair.
my theme song
i love tim!
I actually kinda like Dave's version a little better. You know how the big labels like to over-produce songs. lol
damn this song is so good, and i turn up the volume, but there is a high-pitched sound that kinda hurts the ears lol
I think you mean the other way around dear :)
It's a backwards hidden message through the left audio channel. I have the video posted on my channel. You should check it out...
ei4evr couldn’t find it. I’m very interested to see/hear this. Can you give link
dave pahanish!!!!!!!!!!!
meant to type "the original version *sung not song...sorry
All the bickering about Katy Perry and Tim McGraw etc...is funny to me since I know the actual creator of this song..LOL. This song has been around since 2001 when it was released on the writer's own CD "Shine". While Tim McGraw has done a great job with it I will always love the original version song by the writer Dave Pahanish. You can listen to Dave sing it here on YouTube as well
Yeah, Katy is his inspiration....even though he's been making TRUE music ever since Katy was in diapers. -___-
shut up.
Such a lovely voice, I really enjoyed listening to this song :) <3
Absolutely love this song.. Tim is a big inspiration to me!
listen to this song all the time
I had this in my hand walking around the store yesterday. Wasn't sure if I wanted to buy the CD or not so I put it back...
I think I'll go back and get it. :)
beautiful song, loveeee it!
what is this song about it actually? I love it but don't fully understand the song.
@Felanggi lol didnt realise he meant so much to you guys.....i only know him cos he done a song with nelly. no beef lol.
This guy is an awesome singer - Thinking it's slightly insulting that people are comparing him to Katy Perry. No offence intended to anyone who likes Katy Perry, she's not a bad singer, but I personally don't rate her at all as a musician. But don't quote me on that, everyone's entitled to their opinions.
@shona4gaga90 how stupid can you be. Not every song that has the same title is copyright. There are like 3 songs called rockstar and 2 called some people change. Also this song isn't even close to sounding like Katy Perry's version. Think things through for once.
cool song.
Original artist is Dave Pahanish... listen to his version :)
@shona4gaga90
It's his song dumbfuck
that faith hill is a lucky woman =)
I put this song on repeat<3
Gotta Love Tim!
i like his voice, can anyone recommend some good songs by him?
this song is called my little girl.. not the one that got away.. just sayin :)
*cough cough* copyright katy x
He was my love. I wasn't his. ugh. Think I'm gonna be sad for a few minutes now.
I was told I'm a "cute little independent woman" by some1 I don't know very well. Those words were haunting. Some1 I used to love so much used to say that all the time. I wanted to cry because it took me back to a different kind of love. I wonder if he ever has those moments& memories. I hope he knows he made a mistake & I am the 1 the got away.
what on earth is he muttering at the beinning?
@BarBlogVideos Thanks for recognizing, I am sure Dave P. would thank you also!
This is my life. lol I escaped my dead end town on a volleyball scholarship and now I'm applying to grad schools!
Tim's Emotional Traffic album - is a Masterpiece!! I can't wait to buy it.
I wish this mucic could have been heard MONTHS ago! SO GOOD!!!
I cant wait for the album to come out cause I went to amazon to preview it and from what 30secs of eavh song I heard it sounded like this album IS BY FAR HIS BEST ALBUM THUS FAR!!!!!
Every time he comes out with new stuff it makes me remember why I love him so much
@SirBenjamin88 I totally agree. he keeps getting better and better. His wife has always said he is a genius at every thing he does. this is his best record.
been listenin to this song 4 about a week over and over again still not sick of it dont think i ever will be
Tim McGraw Just keep getting better as he gets older. This song (The one that away) is awesome, so is the Song (Better than it use to be.)
@yeahIhave y would tim mcgraw do a freakin katy perry song
@AgentAshcroft yea i think ima just get the whole cd love every song on there
@AgentAshcroft hope its touchdown jesus
@AgentAshcroft Based on amazon previews i am most excited for The One , and Only Human + really like Halo
i thought it will be a cover of Katy's song o__O
Katy McLaughlin get backing came have been trying hard are you bullying a friend
Maybe Katy Perry is his big inspiration because her latest music video and single has this Name too!!!
this was supposed to come in 2011 but thankfully its here now
When is this album out?? :D I can't wait any longer!
love this cd so far 1st one i by this year
