Circles Around This Town

I swear I don't know how I trusted A Montero with the AC busted A couple bad demos on a burned CD Would take me all the way to Tenneesse I showed up to the new apartment First month's last month's two deposits Hadn't heard the sound of a door slam yet Thank god I was an optimist I drove circles around this town Tryin' to write circles around this town Tryna say somethin' with meanin' Somethin' worth singin' about I've been kind and I've been ruthless Yeah got here but the truth is Thought when I hit it it'd all look different But I still got the pedal down Drivin' circles around this town So many times I thought about lеavin' Got my ass kicked tryin' to compete with Evеrybody else's ones that got away Hung around long enough to catch a break A couple hundred songs and the ones that finally worked Was the one about a car and the one about a church That I wrote Drivin' circles around this town Tryin' to write circles around this town Tryna say somethin' with meanin' Somethin' worth singin' about I've been kind and I've been ruthless Yeah got here but the truth is Thought when I hit it it'd all look different But I still got the pedal down Drivin' circles around this town Drivin' circles around this town Hey I drove circles around this town Tryin' to write circles around this town Tryna say somethin' with meanin' Somethin' worth singin' about I've been kind and I've been ruthless Yeah got here but the truth is Thought when I hit it it'd all look different But I still got the pedal down I still get lost I still get found Drivin' circles around this town Oh yeah
