Maren Morris, Greg Kurstin - Circles Around This Town lyrics

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

I drove circles around this town
Tryin' to write circles around this town
Tryna say somethin' with meanin'
Somethin' worth singin' about
I've been kind and I've been ruthless
Yeah, 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 lеavin'
Got my ass kicked tryin' to compete with
Evеrybody else's ones that got away
Hung 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
That I wrote

Drivin' circles around this town
Tryin' to write circles around this town
Tryna say somethin' with meanin'
Somethin' worth singin' about
I've been kind and I've been ruthless
Yeah, 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
Tryin' to write circles around this town
Tryna say somethin' with meanin'
Somethin' worth singin' about
I've been kind and I've been ruthless
Yeah, 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
