COMPLETE LYRICS
Lord I've really been real stressed.
Down and out, losin ground
Although I am black and proud problems got me pessimistic
Brothers and sisters keep messin up. Why does it have to be so damn tuff?
I don't know where I can go to let these ghosts out of my skull
My grandma's past, my brothers gone. I never at once felt so alone.
I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel. Not just my spare tire. (home)
But lord I ask you. (home) To be my guiding force and truth. (home)
For some strange reason it had to be. (home) He guided me to Tennessee. (home)
Chorus
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 Dyesburg 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. (home)
Go back to from whence you came. (home) My family tree my family name. (home)
For some strange reason it had to be. (home) He guided me to Tennessee. (home)
Chorus
Now I see the importance of history. Why 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 '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 searchin' 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
