Lyrics

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
be messin' up
why does it have to be
so damn tough

i don't know
where i can go
to lift these ghosts
out of my skull
grandma passed
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
talkin' to each other
every night and day

although you're
superior over me
we talk to each other
in a friendship way

then 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
climb 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

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
by brothers on
the corner playin'
ghetto games

i ask you lord why
you enlightened me
without the
enlightenment
of all my folks

he said 'cause
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
