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 grandmas 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 enlightment 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
/> Chorus
