(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
