J. J. Cale – The Woman That Got Away

Well, Ive been out on the street since yesterday
Been looking for the woman that got away
A long-legged thing with a red dress on
The kind of woman you cant leave alone

Listen, if you see her, send her my way
Looking for the woman that got away

The last time I seen her she was looking good
I had a feeling that she understood
She slipped through my fingers in the middle of the night
I gotta find my woman and treat her right

Listen, if you see her, send her my way
Looking for the woman that got away

If I ever get my hands on that woman again
Im gonna lock my door and keep her in
She wont do no traveling, wont follow me round
Im gonna keep my woman and leave town

Listen, if you see her, send her my way
Looking for the woman that got away
