John Hiatt - Drive South lyrics

I didn`t say we wouldn`t hurt anymore

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

CHORUS:

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` lets fire it up and wind it out

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:

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 them pretty legs showin`, it gets hot down 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

Come on baby drive, come on baby drive south, come on baby drive south

REPEAT CHORUS
