Lyrics
Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah-eah
Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah-eah
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
I see through it now but I didn't at first
The hypocrites made it worse and worse
Lookin' down their noses 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
Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah-eah
Racism lives in the U.S.A
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's 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
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
So, 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
The money's good, the work's 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
So, 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-eah
Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah-eah
Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah-eah
Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah-eah
Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah-eah
Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah-eah
