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 Tryna write circles around this town Tryna say somethin' with meaning Somethin' worth singin' 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 Drivin' circles around this town So many times I thought about leavin' Got my ass kicked tryin' 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 Drivin' circles around this town Tryna write circles around this town Tryna say somethin' with meaning Somethin' worth singin' 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 Drivin' circles around this town Drivin' circles around this town Hey I drove circles around this town Tryna write circles around this town Tryna say somethin' with meaning Somethin' worth singin' 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 Drivin' circles around this town Oh, yeah --- Circles Around This Town - Maren Morris
