Annotationen
Song über die Karriere einer Singer-Songwriterin. Sie zieht in eine Musikstadt, sie setzt sich dem Wettbewerb aus und kämpft um einen Platz im Musikbusiness, doch fühlt sich als würde sie nur um die Stadt herum fahren. Später schafft sie es tatsächlich mit zwei Songs. Hier werden die frühen Hits von Morris genannt (der Song ist also autobiografisch), derjenige über die Kirche (My Church) und der über das Auto (80s Mercedes). Der Clou des Lieds besteht darin, dass die Erzählerin immer gedacht hat, mit einem Hit würde sich alles ändern. Doch auch jetzt nach ersten Hits und einer Karriere im Business kreist sie stets noich um die Stadt herum.

Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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 deposits Hadn't heard the sound of a door slam yet Thank god I was an optimist [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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! [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] 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
