Maren Morris

Songtekst

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, hey

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
