I was 7, she was 9 We stuck together like a fish hooked on a line Sayin' sticks and stones will break my bones Baby I got your back We were friends and that was that I turned 8, she turned 10 I fell in love with my best friend Sayin' step on a crack, break your mamma's back I trip myself to make you laugh I love to see you smile Yeah, when we were young it was nice to know That your best friend lived just down the road Days last forever as a child Remember that time that we made lemonade And sold it in the yard The day you broke the news that broke my heart The day you broke the news that broke my heart I woke up the next morning Just broke down and cried Saw the moving van sitting in your drive I never wanted to hear nobody say You were the one that got away 19 years old and 21 I'm still in Georgia, she's in Austin Now I drink all night, I sleep all day Try to wash this pain away I couldn't shake it if I tried Yeah, when we were young it was nice to know That your best friend lived just down the road Days last forever as a child Remember that time that we made lemonade And sold it in the yard The day you broke the news that broke my heart The day you broke the news that broke my heart I woke up the next morning Just broke down and cried Had a dream about that moving van Pulling out your drive Lord, I get tired of hearing people say You were the one that got away 27 and 29 I still think about her all of the time Now these sticks and stones done broke my bones Baby I got your back Love is love and that's that Yeah, when we were young it was nice to know That your best friend lived just down the road Days last forever as a child Remember that time that we made lemonade And sold it in the yard The day you broke the news that broke my heart The day you broke the news that broke my heart I woke up this morning Just broke down and cried Saw the moving van from Texas Pulling in your drive I always wanted to look at you and say You were the one that got away You got away I shouldn't have let you get away
