Gone Before You Met Me Lyrics - Angels And Alcohol - Alan Jackson

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 put 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 

Photos 

Yeah, I smelled that coffee 

I heard you singing in the kitchen 

Walked 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 put your roots in 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
