Michael Ray’s upbeat hit, “One That Got Away” describes a man embarking on a relationship that the knows is bound to end, which makes it sound like a “break-up ballad,” but it is none of the sort. Of the song’s mood, Ray shared with The Boot,
In the studio, we wanted to create a kind of loose feel...
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ha, ha)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
She's like a picture from an airplane window
It's always sunny up above the clouds
She's got a mouth full of innuendo
But she makes it sound innocent somehow
Those hungry eyes can't be denied
Take me to church, show me the light
Straight masterpiece, way out of my league
Yeah but I'm gonna hold her like a trophy tonight
[Chorus]
She's decoratin' my car
Soon she'll be breakin' my heart
She's too Wild Horses to be all mine
I'll be your Beast of Burden on borrowed time
She's gonna rip off any kind of label
She's into leavin' those strings untied
Keepin' it tax free, under the table
She might only be mine tonight
But that's alright, that's okay
She's gonna be one hell of a one that got away
That's alright, might hurt, but hey
She's gonna be one hell of a one that got away
[Verse 2]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I ain't gonna sit here and overthink it
I got a tiger by the tail
I'll just smile when she sinks her teeth in
She'll leave a scar and a story to tell
[Chorus]
She's decoratin' my car
Soon she'll be breakin' my heart
She's too Wild Horses to be all mine
I'll be your Beast of Burden on borrowed time
She's gonna rip off any kind of label
She's into leavin' those strings untied
Keepin' it tax free, under the table
She might only be mine tonight
But that's alright, that's okay
She's gonna be one hell of a one that got away
That's alright, might hurt, but hey
She's gonna be one hell of a one that got away
[Bridge]
Hey hey, hey hey
She's gonna sting me but damn it I want it
Hey hey, hey hey
Honey's so sweet in that moment
[Chorus]
She's decoratin' my car
Soon she'll be breakin' my heart
She's too Wild Horses to be all mine
I'll be your Beast of Burden on borrowed time
She's gonna rip off any kind of label
She's into leavin' those strings untied
Keepin' it tax free, under the table
She might only be mine tonight
But that's alright, that's okay
She's gonna be one hell of a one that got away
That's alright, might hurt, but hey
She's gonna be one hell of a one that got away
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
She's gonna be one hell of a one that got away
Hey hey, yeah
Hey hey, yeah
Hey hey, yeah
Hey hey, yeah, yeah

When we recorded the song, I felt it was really in the realm of a feel-good groove, kind of like ‘Kiss You In The Morning,’" Ray says. “I haven’t had a song like that yet. When you hear it, it’s one that makes you think you’ve heard it before. The melody stays with you. Anytime you listen to it, it...
