| [00:09.66] |
Lord I've really been real stressed |
| [00:11.94] |
Down and out, losing ground |
| [00:14.43] |
Although I am Black and proud |
| [00:16.80] |
Problems got me pessimistic |
| [00:19.21] |
Brothers and sisters keep messing up |
| [00:21.61] |
Why does it have to be so damn tough? |
| [00:23.98] |
I don't know where I can go |
| [00:26.39] |
To let these ghosts out of my skull |
| [00:28.81] |
My grandma's passed, my brother's gone |
| [00:31.12] |
I never at once felt so alone |
| [00:33.58] |
I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel |
| [00:35.93] |
Not just my spare tire (home) |
| [00:38.57] |
But Lord I ask you (home) |
| [00:40.76] |
To be my guiding force and truth (home) |
| [00:43.17] |
For some strange reason it had to be (home) |
| [00:45.63] |
He guided me to Tennessee (home) |
| [00:48.10] |
Take me to another place |
| [00:50.45] |
Take me to another land |
| [00:52.81] |
Make me forget all that hurts me |
| [00:55.17] |
Let me understand your plan |
| [00:57.61] |
Take me to another place |
| [01:00.61] |
Take me to another land |
| [01:02.44] |
Make me forget all that hurts me |
| [01:04.82] |
Let me understand your plan |
| [01:07.27] |
Lord it's obvious we got a relationship |
| [01:09.62] |
Talkin' to each other every night and day |
| [01:12.44] |
Although you're superior over me |
| [01:14.41] |
We talk to each other in a friendship way |
| [01:16.84] |
Then outta nowhere you tell me to break |
| [01:19.16] |
Outta the country and into more country |
| [01:21.69] |
Past Dyersburg into Ripley |
| [01:24.26] |
Where the ghost of childhood haunts me |
| [01:26.45] |
Walk the roads my forefathers walked |
| [01:28.80] |
Climbed the trees my forefathers hung from |
| [01:31.24] |
Ask those trees for all their wisdom |
| [01:33.63] |
They tell me my ears are so young (home) |
| [01:36.16] |
Go back to from whence you came (home) |
| [01:38.46] |
My family tree, my family name (home) |
| [01:40.82] |
For some strange reason it had to be (home) |
| [01:43.17] |
He guided me to Tennessee (home) |
| [01:45.72] |
Take me to another place |
| [01:48.13] |
Take me to another land |
| [01:50.46] |
Make me forget all that hurts me |
| [01:52.61] |
Let me understand your plan |
| [01:55.33] |
Take me to another place |
| [01:57.76] |
Take me to another land |
| [02:00.33] |
Make me forget all that hurts me |
| [02:02.52] |
Let me understand your plan |
| [02:05.27] |
Eshe? She went down to Holly Springs. |
| [02:08.45] |
Rasha Don and Baba? They went down to Peachtree. |
| [02:11.97] |
Headliner, I challenge you to a game of horseshoes. |
| [02:13.53] |
A game of horseshoes! |
| [02:14.42] |
Now I see the importance of history |
| [02:16.88] |
Why my people be in the mess that they be |
| [02:19.22] |
Many journeys to freedom made in vain |
| [02:21.68] |
My brothers on the corner playing ghetto games |
| [02:24.19] |
I ask you Lord why you enlightened me |
| [02:26.43] |
Without the enlightenment of all my folks |
| [02:28.92] |
He said 'cause I set myself on a quest for truth |
| [02:31.36] |
And you was there to quench my thirst |
| [02:34.14] |
But I am still thirsty... |
| [02:38.57] |
The Lord allowed me to drink some more |
| [02:40.88] |
He said what I am searching for |
| [02:43.27] |
Are the answers to all which are in front of me |
| [02:45.72] |
The ultimate truth started to get blurry |
| [02:48.46] |
For some strange reason it had to be |
| [02:50.51] |
It was all a dream about Tennessee |
| [02:52.94] |
Take me to another place (Home) |
| [02:55.36] |
Take me to another land (Home) |
| [02:57.74] |
Make me forget all that hurts me |
| [03:00.14] |
Let me understand your plan |
| [03:02.51] |
Take me to another place (Home) |
| [03:04.99] |
Take me to another land (Home) |
| [03:07.31] |
Make me forget all that hurts me |
| [03:09.74] |
Let me understand your plan |
| [03:12.91] |
Oh won't you let me |
| [03:16.25] |
Won't you help me |
| [03:18.84] |
Won't you help me understand you plan? |
| [03:31.21] |
Take me home |
| [03:33.17] |
Take me home |
| [03:35.69] |
Home |
| [03:37.87] |
Take me to another place |
| [03:43.17] |
Take me home |
| [03:50.87] |
Oh you know I need to go home, yeah |
| [04:06.57] |
Headliner? I won the game of horseshoes. |
| [04:08.88] |
Now you owe me a watermelon. |
| [04:10.71] |
Let's go climb trees and skip over rocks, |
| [04:13.10] |
Do like they do below the border. |
| [04:14.93] |
Hmm? Speech's hair? |
| [04:16.80] |
No it look like the roots of the tree my ancestors were hung from. |
| [04:19.64] |
But that's okay, get it, 'cuz he's down to earth. |
| [04:23.76] |
Tennessee. |
| [04:26.8] |
Tennessee, Whoo! Yeah |
| [04:28.68] |
Tennessee. |
| [04:30.81] |
Te-Tenness... |
