"Come on baby take a ride with me I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee Everything is cool as can be In a peaceful world
People know this world is a wreck We're sick and tired of being politically correct If I see through it now but I didn't at first The hypocrites made it worse and worse Lookin' down their noses at what people say These are just words and words are okay It's what you do and not what you say If you're not part of the future then get out of the way
Come on baby take a ride with me I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee Everything is cool as can be In a peaceful world
Racism lives in the U.S. today Better get hip to what Martin Luther King had to say I don't want my kids being brought up this way Hatred to each other is not okay Well I'm not a preacher just a singer son But I can see more work to be done It's what you do and not what you say If you're not part of the future then get out of the way
Come on baby take a ride with me I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee Everything is cool as can be In a peaceful world
The money's good and the work is okay Looks like everything is rollin our way "Til you gotta look the devil in the eye You know that bastard's one big lie So be careful with your heart and what you love Make sure that it was sent from above It's what you do and not what you say If you're not part of the future then get out of the way
Come on baby take a ride with me I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee Everything is cool as can be In a peaceful world
Lay back the top and ride with me I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee Everything is cool as can be In a peaceful world
