Drive South

Written by John Hiatt
Performed by Suzy Boggus


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 looking for true love 
With our heads in the clouds 
Just a little off course 
But I left that motor running 
Now if you're feeling down and out 

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

I'm not talking about retreating no sir 
Gonna take our stand in this chevy van 
Windows open on the rest of the world 
Holding hands all the way to dixie land 
We've been trying to turn our lives around
Since we were little kids 
It's been wearing us down 
Don't turn away now darling 
Lets 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 calling 
I think she was only stalling 
Don't know who she's talking to 
Baby me or you 
We can go south with a smile on 
Ain't going to pack my nylons
Just leave these legs showing 
It gets hot down where were going 

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

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