Peaceful World |
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 |
Hey yeah |
Hey yeah |
Hey yeah |
Hey yeah… |
