"Have To Be My Hometown" lyrics

"Have To Be My Hometown"

Said we would never change such a shame something did
I miss the Chevrolet glory days back when it
Didn't hurt to drive across that county line
Can't remember this place before you were mine

If you woulda just taken my heart
If you woulda just wasted my time
When you took my favorite t-shirt
I didn't mind
But you even ruined the stars
Look up and I see your eyes
Coulda drawn a line in the dirt
The night that you said goodbye
There's places I don't go
Back roads I can't roll down
Out of everything you stole
Why'd it have to be my hometown

You left the memories on the streets I was raised
I swear in every car, every bar I see your face
Honestly what makes it worse is you don't care at all
This small town has gotten way too small

If you woulda just taken my heart
If you woulda just wasted my time
When you took my favorite t-shirt
I didn't mind
But you even ruined the stars
Look up and I see your eyes
Coulda drawn a line in the dirt
The night that you said goodbye
There's places I don't go
Back roads I can't roll down
Out of everything you stole
Why'd it have to be my hometown

I'll take our names off the tree by the tracks
But you've taken something I'll never get back

If you woulda just taken my heart
If you woulda just wasted my time
When you took my favorite t-shirt
I didn't mind
But you even ruined the stars
Look up and I see your eyes
Coulda drawn a line in the dirt
The night that you said goodbye
There's places I don't go
Back roads I can't roll down
Out of everything you stole
Why'd it have to be my hometown

Why'd it have to be my hometown
