Drive South - John Hiatt

Drive South - John Hiatt
I didn't say we wouldn't hurt anymore
That's how you learn you just get burned
We don't have to feel like dirt anymore
Though love's not earned baby it's our turn
We were always looking for true north
With our heads in the clouds just a little off course
But I left that motor running
Now if you're feeling down and out
Come on baby drive south with the one you love
Come on baby drive south with the one you love
I'm not talkin' 'bout retreatin' little girl
Gonna take our stand in this Chevy van
Windows open on the rest of the world
Holdin' hands all the way to Dixieland
We've been tryin' to turn our lives around
Since we were little kids it's been wearin' us down
Don't turn away now darlin' let's fire it up and wind it out
Come on baby drive south with the one you love
Come on baby drive south with the one you love
Now I heard your mama callin'
I think she was just stallin'
Don't know who she was talkin' to
Baby me and you
We could go down with a smile on
Don't bother to pack your nylons
Just keep those pretty legs showin'
It gets hot down where we're goin'
Better for you baby
We were always looking for true north
With our heads in the clouds just a little off course
Oh I left that motor running
Now if you're feeling down and out
Come on baby drive
Come on baby drive south with the one you love
Come on baby drive south with the one you love
Come on baby drive south come on baby drive south
Come on baby drive south with the one you love
Come on baby drive south with the one you love
