Tennessee
Lyricist:Jones. Tarre, Todd Thomas
Lord, I've really been real stressed Down and out, losing ground Although I am black and proud Problems got me pessimistic
Brothers and sisters keep messing up Why does it have to be so damn tough? I don't know where I can go To let these ghosts out of my skull
My grandma's past, my brother's gone I never at once felt so alone I know You're supposed to be my steering wheel Not just my spare tire
But Lord I ask You To be my guiding force and truth For some strange reason it had to be He guided me to Tennessee
Take me to another place Take me to another land Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand Your plan
Take me to another place Take me to another land Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand Your plan
Lord, it's obvious we got a relationship Talking to each other every night and day Although You're superior over me We talk to each other in a friendship way
And outta nowhere You tell me to break Outta the country and into more country Past Dyersburg into Ripley Where the ghost of childhood haunts me
Walk the roads my forefathers walked Climbed the trees my forefathers hung from Ask those trees for all their wisdom They tell me my ears are so young
Go back to from whence you came My family tree, my family name For some strange reason it had to be He guided me to Tennessee Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Take me to another place Take me to another land Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand Your plan
Take me to another place Take me to another land Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand Your plan
Now I see the importance of history Why my people be in the mess that they be Many journeys to freedom made in vain My brothers on the corner playing ghetto games
I ask You Lord why You enlightened me Without the enlightenment of all my folks He said 'cuz I set myself on a quest for truth And He was there to quench my thirst But I am still thirsty
The Lord allowed me to drink some more He said what I am searching for Are the answers to all which are in front of me The ultimate truth started to get blurry For some strange reason it had to be It was all a dream about Tennessee
Take me to another place Take me to another land Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand Your plan
Take me to another place Take me to another land Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand Your plan
Take me to another place Take me to another land Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand Your plan
Take me to another place Take me to another land Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand Your plan
