I swear I don't know how I trusted
A Montero with the ac busted
A couple bad demos on a burned CD
Will take me all the way to tennesse

I showed up to the new apartment
First month's, last month's, due deposit
Hadn't heard the sound of a door slam yet
Thank God I was an optimist

I drove circles around this town
Tryna ride circles around this town
Tryna say somethin' with meanin'
Somethin' worth singin' about

I've been countin' up in ruthless
Yeah, got here but the truth is
Thought when I'd hit it, it'd all look different
But I still got the pedal down
Drivin' circles around this town

So many timеs, I thought about leavin'
Got my ass kicked tryin' to competе with
Everybody else is ones who got away
I'm 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
But I wrote

Drivin' circles around this town
Tryna ride circles around this town
Tryna say somethin' with meanin'
Somethin' worth singin' about
I've been countin' up in ruthless

Yeah, got here but the truth is
Thought when I'd 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
Tryna ride circles around this town
Tryna say somethin' with meanin'
Somethin' worth singin' about
I've been countin' up in ruthless

Yeah, got here but the truth is
Thought when I'd hit it, it'd all look different
But I still got the pedal down
Still get lost and still get found
Drivin' circles around this town
Oh, yeah
