Circles - Eric Bibb

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…
