John Hiatt - Drive South guitar chord

Drive South

By John Hiatt

Written by John Hiatt

A

I didn't say we wouldn't hurt anymore

E

That's how you learn you just get burned

A

We don't have to feel like dirt anymore

E

Though love's not earned baby it's our turn

B

We were always looking for true love

A

With our heads in the clouds

Just a little off course

B

But I left that motor running

A

Now if you're feeling down and out

E

Come on baby drive south

A B

with the one you love

E

Come on baby drive south

A B

With the one you love

I'm not talking about retreating no sir

Gonna take our stand in this chevy van

Windows open on the rest of the world

Holding hands all the way to dixie land

We've been trying to turn our lives around

Since we were little kids

It's been wearing us down

Don't turn away now darling

Lets fire it up and wind it out

Chorus

A

I heard your momma calling

A

I think she was only stalling

E

Don't know who she's talking to

B

Baby me or you

A

We can go down with a smile on

Ain't going to pack my nylons

E

Just leave these legs showing

B

It gets hot down where were going

We were always looking for true love

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

Chorus
