Hate This Town

Was a cloud of dust behind a Chevy truck
Put my finger up out the window
It was anywhere but around here
Didn't care where ever that wind blowed
Was your typical teenage kid
A know-it-all that you couldn't tell shit
Ain't it crazy how things change?
'Cause I just turned back on Main
And that State Champ flag
Still under all glory down at court house
Can't believe I used to hate this town

'Cause now when I leave it I can't wait to come back
I get that 17 feeling when I cross railroad tracks
Always wishing I was here no matter where I'm at
It's like that hometown ground keeps on calling me back
To where I grew up, where they're gonna lay me down
Can't believe I used to hate this town

Just past the spot where I quit that job
And told my boss where he could go
There's the house she kicked me out
'Cause I couldn't tell that bottle no
Thought I was too big for this place
I was gonna show 'em all one day
Kinda funny looking back now
Can't believe I used to hate this town

'Cause now when I leave it I can't wait to come back
I get that 17 feeling when I cross railroad tracks
Always wishing I was here no matter where I'm at
It's like that hometown ground keeps on calling me back
To where I grew up, where they're gonna lay me down
Can't believe I used to hate this town yeah

I miss those bonfire nights
Playing our music too loud
I miss those Sundays in Mom's place with Dad on the couch
Gasing up the truck just to ride around

'Cause now when I leave it I can't wait to come back
Get that 17 feeling when I cross railroad tracks
Always wishing I was here no matter where I'm at
It's like that hometown ground keeps on calling me back
To where I grew up, where they're gonna lay me down
I guess what goes around really does come back around
Can't believe I used to hate this town
