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 Tennessee 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 Trying to write circles around this town Trying to say something with meaning, something worth singing about I've been kind and I've been ruthless Yeah, I got here but the truth is Thought when I hit it, it'd all look different But I still got the pedal down Driving circles around this town So many times I thought about leaving Got my ass kicked trying to compete with Everybody else's ones that got away Hung around long enough to catch a break Couple hundred songs and the ones that finally worked Was the one about a car and the one about a church That I wrote Driving circles around this town Trying to write circles around this town Trying to say something with meaning, something worth singing about I've been kind and I've been ruthless Yeah, I got here but the truth is Thought when I hit it, it'd all look different But I still got the pedal down Driving circles around this town Driving circles around this town I drove circles around this town Trying to write circles around this town Trying to say something with meaning, something worth singing about I've been kind and I've been ruthless Yeah, I 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 Driving circles around this town Oh, yeah
