This ol' boy lived down the road from me
F#F# C#C#
Used to drive a beat-up Dodge
Well, he showed up drunk as hell one night
F#F# G#G#
Parked in my garage
C minorCm
I had to ask him how'd he get so lost
F#F# D#D#
That you can't find your way home
F#F#
He said:
G#G# C#C# F#F#
I've been runnin' 'round in circles so long
G#G# C#C#
I didn't know ehere else to go
F#F# G#G# C#C# F#F#
I've been runnin' 'round in circles so long
G#G# C#C#
I didn't know where else to go
C#C#
See, his wife she left him
F#F#
An' took the kids
C#C#
An' he never was the same
F#F#
I guess they were all that he'd been livin' for
G#G#
An'he shouldered all the blame
C#C#
Well he always wondered what made her give up
F#F# D#D#
God, if he'd only known
F#F# G#G# C#C# F#F#
She'd be runnin' 'round in circles so long
G#G# C#C#
She didn't know ehere else to go
F#F# G#G# C#C# F#F#
She'd been runnin' 'round in circles so long
G#G# C#C#
She didn't know ehere else to go

C#C#
Well, this ol' boy lived down the road from me
F#F# G#G# #C
Today they laid him in the ground
C#C# F#F#
He drove that ol' Dodge right off the river bridge
G#G#
Without even slowin' down
C#C# F#F#
And he left a letter he wrote to his ol' man
D#D#
Said: I just lost control
F#F# G#G# C#C# F#F#
I've been runnin' 'round in circles so long
G#G# C#C#
I didn't know ehere else to go
F#F# G#G# C#C# F#F#
I've been runnin' 'round in circles so long
G#G# C#C#
I didn't know where else to go
