Drive South Songtext

von Suzy Bogguss

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 learned, baby it's our turn.
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:

Come on, baby, drive south,
With the one you love.
Come on, baby, drive south.

I'm not talking about retreat, no sir:
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.

Come on, baby, drive south,
With the one you love.
Come on, baby, drive south.

I heard your momma calling,
Think she was only stalling.
Don't know who she's talking to:
Baby, me and you,
We can go down with a smile on.
Ain't going to pack my nylons,
Just leave these legs showing:
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:

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,
