Daddy worked down at the mill, he didn't have to drive too far... I used to ride to work with him, it saved me miles on my car... Momma managed at a bank that wasn't far from where we lived... And my whole family lived right there in 3 little houses on a hill... I been drivin' in circles, ridin' around in this old town... Tryin' hard to Find A Reason for why I might have hung around... I could've put myself through college... My grades were good and I was sharp... Teachers all tried talkin' to me to pull my head out of the dark... I been drivin' in circles, ridin' around in this old town... Tryin' hard to Find A Reason for why I might have hung around... This whole town is under water, we're all just swimmin' to survive... It's time to put my past behind me and finally get on with my life... I watched the sun come up this mornin', drivin' straight on through the night... I finally got my thoughts in order... And I'm not comin' back this time...
