lyrics

I passed a file, I passed a pick. I passed a note- the bar's too thick. She picked the lock and pried the latch. She poured the wine and lit the match. Maybe if my mind was numb I'd think enough to pour another drink. She found my box lost at sea; she opened it without a key. (I wasn't looking for it, it just fell in my lap. If I had known what it was, I would've thrown it back.) My boys and me, we sailed to sea. We drank white rum and we drank whiskey. I asked my girl to marry me, and “no” is what she said. I know I'll never be the one. And so I'll raise my glass to you: the girl who got away.
