Intro
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
People know this world is a wreck
We're sick and tired of being politically correct
See through it now, but I didn't at first
Hypocrites made it worse and worse
Looking down their noses what people say
These are just words and words are okay
It's what you do, 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
(softer)
Racism lives in the US today
Better get hip to what 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
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
(normal)
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
Instrumental break
Money's good and the work is okay
Looks like everything is rolling our way
'Til you got to look the devil in the eye
You know that bastard is 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
