INTRO: D  A  Bm  A  D  A  G  A 

D                   A
Come on baby take a ride with me
    Bm                      A
I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee
D             A                   G        A
Everything is cool as can be in a peaceful world

D                    A
Lay back the top and ride with me
    Bm                      A
I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee
D             A                   G        A
Everything is cool as can be in a peaceful world

Bm               A
People know this world is a wreck
      Bm                        A
We're sick and tired of being politically correct
Bm                        A
See through it now, but I didn't at first
Bm                 A
Hypocrites made it worse and worse

        D                     A
Looking down their noses what people say
Bm                       A
These are just words and words are okay
     Bm               A
It's what you do, not what you say
              Bm                          A
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way

D                   A
Come on baby take a ride with me
    Bm                      A
I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee
D             A                   G        A
Everything is cool as can be in a peaceful world

(softer)
Bm                  A
Racism lives in the US today
Bm                     A
Better get hip to what Luther King had to say
Bm                         A
I don't want my kids being brought up this way
Bm                      A
Hatred to each other is not okay

     D                          A
Well I'm not a preacher, just a singer son
Bm             A
I can see more work to be done
     Bm                  A
It's what you do and not what you say
              Bm                           A
If you're not part of the future, then get out of the way

(normal)
D                   A

Everything is cool as can be in a peaceful world

D                    A
Lay back the top and ride with me
    Bm                      A
I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee

Bm                   A
Money's good and the work is okay 
Bm                       A
Looks like everything is rolling our way
Bm                       A
'Til you got to look the devil in the eye
Bm                         A
  You know that bastard is one big lie

      D                           A
So be careful with your heart and what you love
     Bm               A
Make sure that it was sent from above
     Bm                  A       
It's what you do and not what you say
              Bm                           A
If you're not part of the future, then get out of the way

Lay back the top and ride with me

I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee
D             A                   G        A
Everything is cool as can be in a peaceful world
