Eric Bibb - Circles lyrics

This ol' boy lived down the road from me
Used to drive a beat-up Dodge
Well, he showed up drunk as hell one night
Parked in my garage
I had to ask him how'd he get so lost
That you can't find your way home

He said:
I've been runnin' 'round in circles so long
I didn't know ehere else to go
I've been runnin' 'round in circles so long
I didn't know ehere else to go

See, his wife she left him an' took the kids
An' he never was the same
I guess they were all that
He'd been livin' for
An'he shouldered all the blame
Well he always wondered what made her give up
God, if he'd only known

She'd be runnin' 'round in circles so long
She didn't know ehere else to go
She'd been runnin' 'round in circles so long
She didn't know ehere else to go

Well, this ol' boy lived down
The road from me
Today they laid him in the ground
He drove that ol' Dodge right
Off the river bridge
Without even slowin' down
An'he left a letter he wrote to his ol' man
Said: I just lost control
