"Before I Met You" lyrics - EARL SCRUGGS

I thought I'd seen pretty girls in my time
That was before I met you
I never saw one that I wanted for mine
That was before I met you

I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you

I wanted to ramble and always be free
That was before I met you
I said that no woman could ever hold me
That was before I met you

I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you

They tell me I must reap just what I have sown
Darlin', I hope it's not true
For once I made plans of living alone
But that was before I met you

I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you
