I know you're homesick
I know you're missin' 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 you 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 (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
