This old boy lived down the road from me
Used to drive a beat up Dodge
He showed up drunk as hell one night
Parked in my garage
I had to ask him
How'd you get so lost
Man how do you get so low
He said I've been running around in circles for so long
I didn't know where else to go
See his wife she left him and took the kids
And he never was the same
I guess they were all that he'd been living for
And he shouldered all the blame
He always wondered what made her give up
And why was he the last to know
She'd been running around in circles for so long
She didn't know where else to go
Guess we all lose our way sometimes
Get stuck out on that road
When there's no where left to turn we just stop
The ones we love pay the toll
This old boy lived down the road from me
Today we laid him in the ground
Drove that old dodge right off the river bridge
Without even slowing down
Read the letter he left for his old man
Said God I loved her so
He said I've been running around in circles for so long
I didn't know where else to go
