Hate This Town Songtext
von Slim Dunlap

Oh, that′s it, boys

Well, I dreamt that I was back
Back in my hometown
And in my dream things are different
'Cause I′d stuck around
I dreamt of a house on a quiet little street
With a fridge full of beer and children at my feet

And I used to hate this town
Oh, back when I lived here
In my dreams I don't hate this town
I'm thinking I′m lucky I live here

Well, it seems in my dream I′d taken my dad up on his offer
And took over the hardware store
And in my dream that old store was looking better than it's ever had before
I dreamt of a life lived in no rush
I dreamed of a quiet and gentle hush


Tell you, used to hate this town
Oh yeah, when I lived there
In my dreams, I don′t hate this town
I'm thinking I′m lucky I live here

Well, a few months after that dream, I
Found myself driving back
And about all I could find of that old town was
A rusted out, old railroad track

I dreamt of the difference
I might have made
'Cause I dreamt of the difference
If I′d stayed

Tell you, used to hate this town
Oh yeah, when I was there
In my dreams, I don't hate this time
I'm thinking I′m lucky I live here

Oh, why′d I ever leave this old town?
Didn't want to work in no hardware store
I wish I′d stayed
