Circles

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 where else to go I've been runnin' 'round in circles so long I didn't know where else to go" See, his wife she left him And took the kids And he never was the same I guess they were all that he'd been livin' for And 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 where else to go She'd been runnin' 'round in circles so long She didn't know where 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 Without even slowin' down And he left a letter he wrote to his ol' man Said, "I just lost control" And I've been runnin' 'round in circles so long I didn't know where else to go And I've been runnin' 'round in circles so long I didn't know where else to go
