Story Behind The Song

The line 'you're nowhere now, you been somewhere before' refers to him asking her "where have you been?" She replies 'Nowhere', and he's telling her here, "No, you're nowhere NOW, you been SOMEWHERE before." Like all good country songs this one is true; the true story about my wife cheating and choosing another man over me.

Song Description

A man keeps finding his wife cheating even though they have a family together. He wants to keep the marriage together if she will just stop and be true to him and for the kids' sake.

Lyrics

SOMEWHERE BEFORE
by J. Davis

VERSE
I see you creep in
About half past two
Your guilty conscience
Don't look as good on you

I know that something
Must have took ahold
I never knew that you
Could be so cold

He's nothing special
Im twice the man he is
I'll turn his other cheek
Just like the good book says

CHORUS
You're nowhere now
You been somewhere before
You took it all
But you want more and more

Why'd you come in late
Through my front door?
You're nowhere now
You been somewhere before

VERSE
Nothing that you tell me
Will erase my point of view
You used to tell me baby
I look good on you

I knew you'd falter
Like your mama foretold
How could you do this
When I know your six year old

I'm just fed up
But I want to see it through
I want to overlook you girl
If you'll just be true

CHORUS
You're nowhere now
You been somewhere before
You took it all
But you want more

Why'd you come in late
Through my front door?
You're nowhere now
You been somewhere before

BRIDGE
I don't like it when I'm right all the time
I just want to be your man
I don't know if you're out your mind
But you don't know your name
Or whats your plan

SOLO

CHORUS
You're nowhere now
You been somewhere before
You took it all
But you want more and more

Why'd you come in late
Through my front door?
You're nowhere now
You been somewhere before

You been somewhere before
Searching for more, more, more

You're nowhere now
You been somewhere before
