I Hate You (For Making Me Not Want To Leave The City)

[Verse 1]
I'm taking the long drive back to my hometown
It takes about five hours to get down south
Maybe four if you don't mind putting your foot to the floor
But that has never really been for me

[Verse 2]
I stop in little towns and buy myself coffee
Think about my passenger seat and how it looks so empty
Except for the clothes and books
And other things that I'm taking home with me
I think about how if you were sitting there
I wouldn't mind turning the stereo down so I could hear you speak

[Verse 3]
And I get to this stretch of road
It's dusk and the air is kinda smoky, I think to myself
That it's the most beautiful place that I've ever been
Maybe 'cause it means that I'm closer to home
Maybe 'cause I know that the next time I see it, there's a possibility
That you might be sitting here with me

[Chorus]
I put Neil Young on the stereo
I chain smoke to pass the time
It gets dark and my eyes get tired
So I pull over for a little while
I put Neil Young on the stereo
I chain smoke to pass the time
It gets dark and my eyes get tired
So I pull over for a little while and think
About how much I hate you
For making me not want to leave
Not want to leave the city
