I had a dream last night, I was [B] floating down [E] that black water, I kicked back on the Mississippi
on a raft [B] with old [E] Tom Sawyer.
He got restless down around Memphis, [B] that's where he left me.
He [E] said, I'm the one rambling me, 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, won't get out of there, head my [E] eye on the road.
Well I hitched a ride with this big neck guy, he said, looks [B] like you read me.
[E] My name is Jack Airwack, and I was gone before you met me.
[A] You got your homeboys, [E] your hang around boys, [B] you fix that roof, [E] put your roots in the ground
boys, big house, the white fence, [B] pretty little woman, 2 [A].5 kids, dang [E] right, it's a good [B] life.
But boys like me are born to run [A] the wild side, like [E] a restless wind you'll [B] never catch me.
I was gone [E] before you met me, [A] [E]
[A] [E]
then just before I woke, I had a bad nightmare.
I was on some lost highway and you were nowhere near.
Someone took [A] your hand, I wasn't [E] that man, girl it [B] sure did hit me.
[E] I was cussing fate, it was too late, you were gone before you met [B] me.
Then I smelled that coffee, heard [A] you singing in [E] the kitchen, [B] walked in and got a kiss.
Said this [A] ain't still dripping, thank God [Eb] it's still dripping.
You got your [E] homeboys, your hang around boys, [B] you fix that sink, [E] put your roots in the ground
[A] boys, big [E] house, the white [B] fence, sweet little woman, rocking [A] that goodness, dang [E] right, it's a fine [B] life.
Restless heart found a heart I can [A] call mine, I was [E] smart enough to let [B] love catch me.
[A] So Tom and Jack [E] just rambled on [B] without me, cause I was [E] gone before you met [A] me.
[E]
Gone, gone, gone before you met [A] me.
[E]
Gone before you met me.
