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 meTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
