John Hiatt Drive South lyrics

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 that motor run, 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' let's 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


Well, I heard your mama callin', you know 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'
You know 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 that motor running, can you feel it 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, come on baby drive South
Come on baby drive South, come on girl

With the one you love
