Tennessee Dreamin Lyrics - Upchurch

I used to stress myself to sleep, trying to catch or grab success 

Now I fight to leave the struggle to the veins above my neck 

From me screaming at this microphone to get shit off my chest 

But at the time I couldn't vote when almost nobody had my back 

Except my mama and she told me, 

Don't ever give up having hope (I won't) 

You can be a royal king if being a king is what you want 

So I soak my skin in ink on how I feel in desperation 

And I catch a couple Zs and I immerse and make a statement 

And I close my eyes and drift through the weeds 

Of the fields wide open with the owls and the trees 

And the snakes in the creeks got that muddy water raging 

After the white church is shaking and the thunder lights the way 

And past the double doors that open with velvet on the steeple 

The only dream of mine is living dreams out for my people 

So let me grab a pillow and lay beneath the willows 

And I'll tell you all about it when I wake up from Tennessee dreaming

Young U with a cracked windshield and barely any money 

Now I get shit from these folks for turning my life around 

and I got myself something 

But I ain't feeling bad no not one bit 

If you ain't helping yourself I don't wanna hear shit 

'Cause I didn't have help in music city, 

I'm a high school dropout, didn't even finish 

No GD, no damn degree, now I'm talking to folks with GPA 

Asking me about choices they gotta make, well my voice on Rolling Stone magazine 

'Cause my face is a imagine of a genre across this road in all these American streets 

And it freaks me out till I pinch my skin just to make sure that this ain't a dream 

And I close my eyes and drift through the weeds 

Of the fields wide open with the owls and the trees 

And the snakes in the creeks got that muddy water raging 

After the white church is shaking and the thunder lights the way 

And past the double doors that open with velvet on the steeple 

The only dream of mine is living dreams out for my people 

So let me grab a pillow and lay beneath the willows 

And I'll tell you all about it when I wake up from Tennessee dreaming
