This city won′t let me forget you lately
Seems like every road I take is taken by you
This whole town echos your name, it drives me crazy
I wish it would leave me 'lone just like you do
′Cuz our memories edge the borders
And your found in every corner
There's a trace of you on every single street
You ruined all my favorite places
I see you in every face and
I can't take it
I just can′t take it
Missouri, put me out my misery
Let me move on
Oh it′s been so long
I just wanna leave
I'm haunted by our history
Face it, head on
But I just wanna run
Oh Missouri, why do you hate me?
I can find some peace of mind when I cross state lines
Seems I′m always looking out for an escape
'Cuz when I go back
I′m taken back
To the way you have me in your grasp
And the things you said, can't take them back
If I move away, will you lift your trap?
Missouri, put me out my misery
Let me move on
Oh it′s been so long
I just wanna leave
I'm haunted by our history
Face it, head on
But I just wanna run
Oh Missouri, why do you hate me?
'Cuz I can′t shake the thought of
When we sat down by the water
And you told me that you loved me
In the middle of the summer
You said
You′ve never felt like this before
And I believed you
And I still do
But I wish you'd loved me more
Missouri, put me out my misery
Let me move on
It′s been so long
I just wanna leave
I'm haunted by our history
Face it, head on
But I just wanna run
Oh Missouri, why do you hate me?
Oh Missouri, why do you hate me?
I would′ve waited forever and more
If it meant we'd be together for sure
