Finally, got that promotion I worked hard to get One that came with a company car When they gave me the keys, they said "Son, you can bet, keep it up, and you'll really go far" But what good is all that knowin'? The best thing that I had goin' Is gone My good friends come around to hang out now and then And they joke, man you've sure got it hard With this house on the hill and a white picket fence And the grass sure is green in the yard But what good is all that knowin'? The best thing that I had goin' Is gone Well, I squandered my time trying to buy her everything Gave her all that I thought she deserved Now I know all the things that she wanted were free And I should have been home holdin' her But what good is all that knowin'? The best thing that I had goin' Is gone Is gone

Goodbye's the only thing I ever knew how to say Always had a heart that never knew how to stay Leavin', never felt like I was runnin' away As long as I found someone else Late at night was everything that I understood Missin' you would always end up feelin' so good Comin' back, it never made me do what I should I just sit and blame myself Why was I itchin' to get out of Nashville so bad? I made you believe my dreams were the only dreams we had I've been around this town, rode both sides of the tracks And I know, girl, that you ain't comin' back I just wanted you to know, you're the best I never had You know I was just a little out of my league I guess that I was wilder than you wanted to be I tried to hide the devil that was hidin' in me But you saw right through it all Why was I itchin' to get out of Nashville so bad? I made you believe my dreams were the only dreams we had And I've been around this town, rode both sides of the tracks And I know, girl, that you ain't comin' back I just wanted you to know, you're the best I never had Never had your heart (never had your heart) Never had your love (never had your love) And I never had a chance to tell you Why I was itchin' to get out of Nashville so bad I made you believe my dreams were the only dreams we had I've been around this town, rode both sides of the tracks And I know, girl, that you ain't comin' back I just wanted you to know, you're the best I never had

She's just a girl, and she's on fire Hotter than a fantasy, like a highway longer She's living in a world, and it's on fire Feeling the catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away Oh, she got both feet on the ground And she's burning it down Oh, she got her head in the clouds And she's not backing down This girl is on fire This girl is on fire She's walking on fire This girl is on fire Looks like a girl, but she's a flame So bright, she can burn your eyes Better look the other way You can try but you'll never forget her name She's on top of the world Hottest of the hottest girls say Oh, we got our feet on the ground And we're burning it down Oh, got our head in the clouds And we're not coming down This girl is on fire This girl is on fire She's walking on fire This girl is on fire Everybody stands, as she goes by Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes Watch her when she's lighting up the night Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl And it's a lonely world But she gon 'let it burn, baby, burn, baby This girl is on fire This girl is on fire She's walking on fire This girl is on fire Oh, oh, oh ...

After all that you put me through You think I'd despise you But in the end I wanna thank you 'Cause you've made me that much stronger When i, thought i knew you Thinking that you were true I guess i, i couldn't trust Called your bluff, time is up 'Cause i've had enough You were, there by my side Always down for the ride But your, joy ride just came down in flames 'Cause your greed sold me out of shame After all of the stealing and cheating You probably think that i hold resentment for you But, oh oh no no, you're wrong 'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do I wouldn't know just how capable i am to pull through So i wanna say thank you 'Cause it makes me that much stronger Makes me work a little bit harder It makes me that much wiser So thanks for making me a fighter Made me learn a little bit faster Made my skin a little bit thicker Makes me that much smarter So thanks for making me a fighter Never saw it coming All of your backstabbing Just so you could cash in On a good thing before i realized your game I heard you're going round Playing the victim now But don't even begin Feeling i'm the one to blame 'Cause you dug your own grave After all of the fights and the lies Yes you wanted to harm me but that won't work anymore No more, oh no, it's over 'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture I wouldn't know how to be this way now And never back down So i wanna say thank you 'Cause it makes me that much stronger Makes me work a little bit harder Makes me that much wiser So thanks for making me a fighter Made me learn a little bit faster Made my skin a little bit thicker It makes me that much smarter So thanks for making me a fighter How could this man i thought i knew Turn out to be unjust, so cruel Could only see the good in you Pretended not to see the truth You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself Through living in denial But in the end you'll see You won't stop me I am a fighter and i I ain't goin' stop There is no turning back I've had enough It makes me that much stronger Makes me work a little bit harder It makes me that much wiser So thanks for making me a fighter Made me learn a little bit faster Made my skin a little bit thicker Makes me that much smarter So thanks for making me a fighter Thought i would forget But i remember Cause i'll remember, i'll remember It makes me that much stronger Makes me work a little bit harder It makes me that much wiser So thanks for making me a fighter Made me learn a little bit faster Made my skin a little bit thicker Makes me that much smarter So thanks for making me a fighter

Every night in my dreams i see you, i feel you That is how i know you go on Far across the distance and spaces between us You have come to show you go on Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more, you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime And never let go till we're gone Love was when i loved you, one true time i hold to In my life we'll always go on Near, far, wherever you are And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on You're here, there's nothing i fear And i know that my heart will go on We'll stay forever this way You are safe in my heart And my heart will go on and on Mmmm

Summer after high school when we first met We'd make out in your mustang to Radiohead And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos Used to steal your parents' liquor and climb to the roof Talk about our future, like we had a clue Never planned the one day that I'd be losing you In another life, I would be your girl We'd keep all our promises Be us against the world But in another life, I would make you stay So I won't have to say you were the one that got away Oh, the one that got away I was June and you were my Johnny Cash Never one without the other, we made a pact Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on Someone said you had your tattoo removed Saw you downtown, singing the blues It's time to face the music I'm no longer your muse But in another life, I would be your girl We'd keep all our promises Be us against the world 'Cause in another life, I would make you stay So I won't have to say you were the one that got away Oh, the one that got away 'Cause all this money can't buy me a time machine, no I can't replace you with a million rings, no I should've told you what you meant to me, no 'Cause now I've paid the price 'Cause in another life, I would be your girl We'd keep all our promises Be us against the world But in another life, I would make you stay So I won't have to say you were the one that got away Oh, the one that got away The o-o-o-o-o-o-o-one The o-o-o-o-o-o-o-one The o-o-o-o-o-o-o-one In another life, I would make you stay So I don't have to say you were the one that got away Oh, the one that got away
