I was just a tourist
You got to be a big hometown hero
Made you feel important
Still stuck in your high school yearbook

Why'd we have to cover so much ground?
You showed me around
As far as I'm concerned
they should just burn the whole city down

How'd you make me hate Boston?
It's not its fault that you don't love me
Had its charm, but it lost it
It's not its fault just a casualty
And casual's the way you chose to leave

Hid me in your basement
God forbid, you're not the centre of attention
Family confrontation
Probably static 'cause my name was mentioned

I heard your father's sleepin' on the couch
You sure got around
As far as I'm concerned
they should just burn the whole city down

How'd you make me hate Boston?
It's not its fault that you don't love me
Had its charm, but it lost it
It's not its fault just a casualty
How'd you make me hate Boston?
The whole thing is haunted
How do you sleep?
Knowing you held me hostage
You must be exhausted
Don't you miss me?

And casual's the way you chose to leave
And you're all over every single street
