Drive South

(álbum: Slow Turning - 1988)

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 talking 'bout retreating little girl
Gonna take our stand, in this Chevy van
Windows open on the rest of the world
Holding hands, all the way to Dixieland
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

[Chorus]

I heard your mama calling, I think she was just stalling

Don't know who she was talking 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 showing, it gets hot down where we're going
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]
