Alan Jackson - Gone Before You Met Me songtekst

Je score:

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

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

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

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

So Tom and Jack just rambled on without me
'Cause I was gone before you met me
Gone gone, gone before you met me
Gone before you met me
