This ol' boy lived down the road from me
  F#                       C#
Used to drive a beat-up Dodge

Well, he showed up drunk as hell one night
  F#            G#
Parked in my garage
  Cm
I had to ask him how'd he get so lost
  F#                         D#
That you can't find your way home

    F#
He said:
           G#                   C#        F#
I've been runnin' 'round in circles so long
        G#                C#
I didn't know ehere else to go
F#         G#                    C#       F#
I've been runnin' 'round in circles so long
           G#            C#
I didn't know where else to go

 C#
See, his wife she left him
                   F#
An' took the kids
                         C#
An' he never was the same
                                                 F#
I guess they were all that he'd been livin' for
                           G#
An'he shouldered all the blame
C#
Well he always wondered what made her give up
F#                  D#
God, if he'd only known

F#        G#                 C#         F#
She'd be runnin' 'round in circles so long
                  G#          C#
She didn't know ehere else to go
 F#        G#                  C#          F#
She'd been runnin' 'round in circles so long
                 G#           C#
She didn't know ehere else to go

Well, this ol' boy lived down the road from me
  F#            G#           #C
Today they laid him in the ground
 C#                                                F#
He drove that ol' Dodge right off the river bridge
                        G#
Without even slowin' down
C#                                          F#
And he left a letter he wrote to his ol' man
                     D#
Said: I just lost control

 F#        G#             C#              F#
I've been runnin' 'round in circles so long
