Hate This Hometown

All the stereotypes, Friday night lights, I hate to say they're true
All the football games and the drama queens with nothin' better to do
I swore I wouldn't miss that
I said I'd never come back here

Had the U-Haul packed before I walked the stage at graduation
I was ready to fly over the red lights that kept me waitin'
From the second they turned green
I got out and gone for three years

It's amazing what a little time and space
Can do to a place

When I drive down these roads, I see you and me at 16
When I never could've known comin' back would be so sweet
Every chance I get, I wanna go now
Every memory makes me wanna slow down
You make it hard to hate this hometown

That nothing-going-on corner store and that lake view parkin' lot
Your parents' old red brick house, they moved out
But it's still got a whole lot of you and me
And baby, that's all I see now

It's amazin' what fallin' in love will do
To a place you thought you knew

When I drive down these roads, I see you and me at 16
When I never could've known comin' back would be so sweet
Every chance I get, I wanna go now
Every memory makes me wanna slow down
You make it hard to hate this hometown
You make it hard to hate this hometown
You make it hard to hate this hometown

When I drive down these roads, yeah, I almost wanna stay
Oh, I never could've known how my feelings could change
Every chance that I get, I wanna go now
Every memory makes me wanna slow down
You make it hard to hate this hometown
You make it hard to hate this hometown, mm
