Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 earned, baby, it's our turn
[Verse 2]
We were always lookin' for true north
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, oh
[Verse 3]
Come on, baby, drive south
With the one you love
Come on, baby, drive south
With the one you love
[Verse 4]
And 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 Dixie land
We been tryna 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, oh
[Verse 5]
Come on, baby, drive south
With the one you love
Come on, baby, drive south
With the one you love
[Verse 6]
And 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 leave those pretty legs showin'
It gets hot down where we're goin'
Better believe it, baby
[Verse 7]
We were always lookin' for true north
With our heads in the clouds, just a little off course
But I left that motor runnin'
So if you're feelin' down and out, oh
[Verse 8]
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
With the one you love
Come on, baby, drive south
With the one you love
