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 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‘ little girl 
Gonna take our stand, in this chevy van 
Windows open on the rest of the world 
Holdin‘ hands, all 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‘ lets fire it up and wind it out 
  
Repeat chorus 
  
Bridge: 
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 keep them pretty legs showin‘, it gets hot down 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 
Come on baby drive, come on baby drive south, come on baby drive south 
  
Repeat chorus
