[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...
