Drive South

drive south - john hiatt
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 loves not earned,
baby it's our turn
we were always looking for true north
with our heads in the clouds,
just a little off
i left the motor running,
so 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 lets
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
i heard your mama callin,
i think she was just stallin
don't know who she was talkin to,
but 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,
you know it gets hot down where were goin
we were always looking for true north
with our heads in the clouds,
just a little off course
i left the motor running,
so 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
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
come on baby drive south
come on baby drive south
come on baby drive south

but come on baby drive south
come on baby drive south
