I had a dream last nightI was floating down that black waterKick back on the MississippiOn a raft with ol' Tom SawyerHe got restless down around MemphisThat's where he left meSaid I'm one rambling manI was gone before you met meAnd there I was back in my hometownThat's just how dreams goThumb in the air wanted out of thereHeading my own roadWell I hitched a ride with this beatnik guySaid looks like you read meMy name is Jack KerouacI was gone before you met meYou got your homeboys, your hang-around-boysYou fix that roof put your roots to the ground-boysPink house, the white fencePretty little woman, two point fiveKids, dang right, it's a good lifeWith boys like me your bound to run the wild sideLike the restless wind you'll never catch meI was gone before you met meAnd just before I awokeI had a bad nightmareI was on some lost highway and you were nowhere nearSomeone took your hand I wasn't that manGirl, it sure did hit meI was cussing fate but it was too lateYou were gone before you met meThen I smelled that coffeeI heard you singing in the kitchenWalked in, got a kiss, you said the sink still drippingThank God I'm still drivenYou got your homeboys, your hang-around-boysYou fix that sink put your roots in the ground-boysBlue house, the white fenceSweet little woman, rocking that goodMiss dang right, it's a fine lifeHis restless heart found a heart I can call mineI was smart enough to let love catch meSo Tom and Jack just rambled on without me'Cause I was gone before you met meGone, gone, gone before you met meGone before you met me
