[00:00:00] Tennessee - Ameritz Top Tributes

[00:00:01] Written by：T. Thomas/A. T. Jones

[00:00:16] Lord I've really been real stressed

[00:00:18] Down and out losing ground

[00:00:21] Although I am Black and proud

[00:00:23] Problems got me pessimistic

[00:00:26] Brothers and sisters keep messing up

[00:00:28] Why does it have to be so damn tough

[00:00:30] I don't know where I can go

[00:00:33] To let these ghosts out of my skull

[00:00:35] My grandma's passed my brother's gone

[00:00:37] I never at once felt so alone

[00:00:40] I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel

[00:00:42] Not just my spare tire home

[00:00:45] But Lord I ask you home

[00:00:47] To be my guiding force and truth home

[00:00:50] For some strange reason it had to be home

[00:00:52] He guided me to Tennessee home

[00:01:14] Lord it's obvious we got a relationship

[00:01:16] Talking to each other every night and day

[00:01:18] Although you're superior over me

[00:01:21] We talk to each other in a friendship way

[00:01:23] Then outta nowhere you tell me to break

[00:01:26] Outta the country and into more country

[00:01:28] Past Dyersburg into Ripley

[00:01:30] Where the ghost of childhood haunts me

[00:01:33] Walk the roads my forefathers walked

[00:01:35] Climbed the trees my forefathers hung from

[00:01:38] Ask those trees for all their wisdom

[00:01:40] They tell me my ears are so young home

[00:01:43] Go back to from whence you came home

[00:01:45] My family tree my family name home

[00:01:47] For some strange reason it had to be home

[00:01:50] He guided me to Tennessee home

[00:02:13] Eshe she went down to Holly Springs

[00:02:15] Rasadon and Baba they went down to Peachtree

[00:02:18] Headliner I challenge you to a game of horseshoes a game of horseshoes

[00:02:21] Now I see the importance of history

[00:02:23] Why my people be in the mess that they be

[00:02:26] Many journeys to freedom made in vain

[00:02:28] By brothers on the corner playing ghetto games

[00:02:31] I ask you Lord why you enlightened me

[00:02:33] Without the enlightment of all my folks

[00:02:35] He said cause I set myself on a quest for truth

[00:02:38] And he was there to quench my thirst

[00:02:41] But I am still thirsty

[00:02:45] The Lord allowed me to drink some more

[00:02:47] He said what I am searching for are

[00:02:50] The answers to all which are in front of me

[00:02:52] The ultimate truth started to get blurry

[00:02:54] For some strange reason it had to be

[00:02:57] It was all a dream about Tennessee
