Letra de «Gone Before You Met Me»
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 ramled on without me 'Cause I was gone before you met me Gone gone, gone before you met me 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 ramled on without me 'Cause I was gone before you met me Gone gone, gone before you met me Gone before you met me
