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 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

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

CHORUS
