    Drive South

A5                  
I didn't say we wouldn't hurt anymore 
               E5 
That's how you learn you just get burned 
A5 
We don't have to feel like dirt anymore 
                  E5 
Though love's not earned baby it's our turn 
B5 
We were always looking for true love 
         A5 
With our heads in the clouds 
 
Just a little off course 
B5 
But I left that motor running 
                               A5 
Now if you're feeling down and out 
 

                   E5 
Come on baby drive south 
                 A5     B5 
with the one you love 
                   E5  
Come on baby drive south 
                 A5     B5 
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 
 

A5 
I heard your momma calling 
A5 
I think she was only stalling 
E5 
Don't know who she's talking to 
B5 
Baby me or you 
A5 
We can go down with a smile on 
 
Ain't going to pack my nylons 
E5 
Just leave these legs showing 
B5 
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
