"Drive South" lyrics

"Drive South"
(originally by John Hiatt)

I didn't say, we wouldn't hurt anymore
That's how you learn, you just get burned
We don't have to feel like dirt anymore
Though love's not learned, baby it's our turn

We were always lookin' for true love
With our heads in the clouds
Just a little off course
But I left that motor runnin'
Now if you're feelin' down and out

Come on baby drive South
With the one you love
Come on baby drive South

I'm not talkin' about retreatin', no sir
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

I heard your momma callin'
I think, she was only stallin'
Don't know who she's talkin' to
Baby me an' you

We can go south with a smile on
Ain't going to pack my nylons
Just leave these legs showin'
It gets hot down where were goin'

We were always lookin' for true love
With our heads in the clouds
Just a little off course
But I left that motor runnin'
Now if you're feelin' 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
