Here Before You Lyrics by Izzy Stradlin

117º

1998

[Intro: Rick Richards]
Well, I was here before you
No matter what you do
You think about that first
I was here before you
Yeah, I was here before you
No matter what you do
You think about that first
I was here before you
Hahahaha

[Chorus]
Yeah, I was here before you
No matter what you do
You think about that first
Yeah, I was here before you
Yeah, I was here before you
No matter what you do
You think about that first
Yeah, I was here before you

[Verse 1]
All wound up over nothin' at all
You gotta reel yourself back in
You ain't first but ya sure ain't last
And that's a call that I have seen
You're up front in the second heat
You got your head lined up in check

[Pre-Chorus]
They're gettin' ready to start it
Gettin' ready to go

[Chorus]
Yeah, I was here before you
No matter what you do
You think about that first
Yeah, I was here before you
Yeah, I was here before you
No matter what you do
You think about that first
Yeah, I was here before you

[Verse 2]
Big talk don't mean a lot
When the final flag comes down
Yeah who's who at the finish line
I'm gonna wear that great big crown
You talkin' bomb, but I'll wait and see
Who's gonna be there in the end

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm already started
I'm fired up to go

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I was here before you
No matter what you do
You think about that first
Yeah, I was here before you
Yeah, I was here before you
No matter what you do
You think about that first
Yeah, I was here before you
