    Drive South

A                  
I didn't say we wouldn't hurt anymore 
               E 
That's how you learn you just get burned 
A 
We don't have to feel like dirt anymore 
                  E 
Though love's not earned baby it's our turn 
B 
We were always looking for true love 
         A 
With our heads in the clouds 
 
Just a little off course 
B 
But I left that motor running 
                               A 
Now if you're feeling down and out 
 

                   E 
Come on baby drive south 
                 A     B 
with the one you love 
                   E  
Come on baby drive south 
                 A     B 
With the one you love 
 
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 
 
Chorus 
 

A 
I heard your momma calling 
A 
I think she was only stalling 
E 
Don't know who she's talking to 
B 
Baby me or you 
A 
We can go down with a smile on 
 
Ain't going to pack my nylons 
E 
Just leave these legs showing 
B 
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 
 
Chorus
