Drive South - Kelly Willis

John Hiatt
I didn't say we wouldn't hurt anyone
That's how you learn you just get burned
But 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
I left the 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' not this girl
Gonna take our stand in this Chevy van
Windows open on the rest of the world
Holdin' hands on 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
I heard your mama callin' I think she was stallin'
Don't know who she was talkin' to baby me and you
We could go down with a smile on
I ain't gonna pack my nylons
Got to leave our legs showin'
It gets hot where we're goin'
We were always looking for true north
With our heads in the clouds just a little off course
I left the motor running
Now if you're feeling down and out
