  • 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 Writer/s: Jimmy Robbins, Julia Michaels, Maren Larae Morris, Ryan James Hurd
