missouri Lyrics

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
