(John Hiatt)

|
I didn't say we wouldn't hurt anyone
|
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 talkin' 'bout retreatin', not this girl
|
Gonna take our stand, in this Chevy van
|
Windows open on the rest of the world
|
Holdin' hands on 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
|
|
Chorus
|
|
I heard your mama callin', I think she was stallin'
|
Don't know who she was talkin' to baby, me and you
|
|
We could go down with a smile on
|
I ain't gonna pack my nylons,
|
Got to leave our legs showin'
|
It gets hot where we're goin'
|
|
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
|
