I know you're homesick I know you're missing that place This city's breaking you down I can see it all over your face Don't get me wrong, girl I love the simple in you You gotta go where ya gotta go You gotta do what you gotta do But when you do I hope you hate your hometown Every brick, every acre Hope they shut all the bars down Rename all the streets I hope it looks like a ghost town And you feel like a stranger Then you turn your car around Get pissed off and leave I hope you hate your hometown Then come back to me Oh, I hope that welcome sign says "Get the hell outta here" Hope all your friends moved off And memory lane disappeared I don't mean to sound mean I mean well at the end of the day Just know I love you when I say I hope you hate your hometown Every brick, every acre Hope they shut all the bars down Rename all the streets I hope it looks like a ghost town And you feel like a stranger Then you turn your car around Get pissed off and leave I hope you hate your hometown Then come back to me Tell me you miss me Say nothing's the same And home is here with me I ain't tryna be that guy But if you ever went back I think it would kill me It would kill me I hope you hate your hometown Every brick, every acre Hope they shut all the bars down Rename all the streets I hope it looks like a ghost town And you feel like a stranger Then you turn your car around Get pissed off and leave I hope you hate your hometown (Hometown) I hope you hate your hometown Then come back to me Baby, just come back to me Just come back to me
