I've tried so many times to leave this place, this town, my life   These streets are a map of my past   Tomorrow they'll tell me about last night   There's no good news   If there's any news at all   This place is boring   This place sucks   This place is home      I've walked these streets eighteen years   My whole life   I know their names like mine   And I hate tonight      Where should we go from here   Where will we be next year   This city is changing but it's all the same   We've been there, we done that   Seen this, and trashed that   I can't take another day      I've walked these streets 18 years   My whole life   I know their names like mine   And I hate tonight   I hate tonight   I say this seven nights a week   I hate tonight   I hate this fucking town   Everywhere that I go   And everything I see      I try to shrug it away   I try to sleep it away   I try to drink it away   I want to keep it away   There's nothing left to see   It's a part of me      No, it's not a part of me   I've tried so many times   To leave this place this town my life      I've walked these streets eighteen years   My whole life   I know their names like mine   And I hate tonight   I hate tonight   I say this 7 nights a week   I hate tonight   I hate this whole damn town   Everywhere that I go   And everything I see      The same problems always come my way,   It's getting harder to see   Guess I'll find my way home   I close my mind and the problems are solved   If tomorrow comes   I'll push on through
