alan jackson – gone before you met me lyrics
[verse 1]
i had a dream last night
i was floating down that black water
kick back on the mississippi
on a raft with ol’ tom sawyer
he got restless down around memphis
that’s where he left me
said i’m one rambling man
i was gone before you met me
and there i was back in my hometown
that’s just how dreams go
thumb in the air wanted out of there
heading my own road
well i hitched a ride with this beatnik guy
said looks like you read me
my name is jack kerouac
i was gone before you met me
[chorus]
you got your homeboys, your hang-around-boys
you fix that roof but your roots to the ground-boys
pink house, the white fence
pretty little woman, two point five
kids, dang right, it’s a good life
with boys like me your bound to run the wild side
like the restless wind you’ll never catch me
i was gone before you met me
[verse 2]
and just before i awoke
i had a bad nightmare
i was on some lost highway and you were nowhere near
someone took your hand i wasn’t that man
girl, it sure did hit me
i was cussing fate but it was too late
you were gone before you met me
yeah, i smelled that coffee
i heard you singing in the kitchen
walking in got a kiss, you said the sink still dripping
thank god i’m still driven
[chorus]
you got your homeboys, your hang-around-boys
you fix that sink but your roots to the ground-boys
blue house, the white fence
sweet little woman, rocking that good
miss dang right, it’s a fine life
his restless heart found a heart i can call mine
i was smart enough to let love catch me
[outro]
so tom and jack just ramled on without me
’cause i was gone before you met me
gone gone, gone before you met me
gone before you met me
