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 |

|
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 |
|
Lay back the top and ride with me |
|

|
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 |
|
