He wants to stay in his hometown
Where he was born and raised
He's had a job lined up working at his daddy's shop
Since he was eight
Don't get me wrong
There's nothing wrong with that
But that ain't what you want for yourself
And I know that for a fact
You don't need him
I promise you'd be better off
If you just sleep in
He's got nothing figured out
You've got dreams, why don't you chase 'em?
Do it now or you're gonna waste 'em
But you don't need him
Nah, you don't need him
He don't listen
When you talk about moving away
Says you're crazy
That you'll come crawling back in a few days
Maybe you will
There's nothing wrong with that
But you better try it now
Or later one day
You're gonna regret it
You don't need him
I promise you'd be better off
If you just sleep in
He's got nothing figured out
You got dreams, why don't you chase 'em?
Do it now or you're gonna waste 'em
But you don't need him
Girl, you don't need him!
You don't know what's out there waiting for you
Unless you go
Go chase those dreams
Come back and say "I told you so"
You don't need him
I bet you'll be better off
The day you leave him
He's got nothing figured out
You got dreams, why don't you chase 'em?
Do it now or you're gonna waste 'em
'Cause you don't need him
Nah, you don't need him
He's got nothing figured out
He don't listen
You don't need him
You don't need him
