Arrested Development – Tennessee Lyric

Tennessee – Tennessee – Tennessee – Tennessee – Tennessee

Lord I've really been real stressed down and out I'm losing chest
although I am black and proud problems got me pessimistic
brothers and sister 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 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 talking 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
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 people be in the mess that they be
many journeys to freedom made in vain by brothers on the corner playing ghetto games
I ask you lord why you enlighted me without the enlightment 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

Oh won't you let me won't you help me
won't you help me understand your plan
take me home take me home home
take me to another place take me home
oh you know I need to go home yea yea
