Marc Broussard

Nog maar weer een keer een greep uit de cd-kast. Een oudje, van bijna 20 jaar geleden alweer, maar nog altijd een pakkend nummer – bluesy, souly, americany, poppy, funky – Marc Broussard met een vleug Ry Cooder bayou feel, begeleid door een fantastische band. Het is een van de nummers die Linda voor mij gezongen heeft tijdens het privé-concert dat zij mij gegeven heeft op mijn verjaardag, gewoon thuis: PA geïnstalleerd, belichting erop en één enkele stoel voor mij…

HOME

Rolling down the road going no where
Guitar packed in the trunk
Somewhere around mile marker 112
Papa started humming the funk
I got a jones in my bones
Before we know we were singing this melody
Stop the car, pulled out the guitar
Halfway to New Orleans

Said take me hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome)
Take me hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome)

Could feel the sun about to rise
When I realized we had nothing to fear
It’s just me and my daddy and a kid named Cole
Making music that nobody would hear
And then the sun let up and it split the night
Spilling over our jubilee
10, 000 cars by the side of the road
Grooving far as the eye can see

Said take me hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome)
Said take me hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome)
Take me hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome)
Said take me hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome)

This greyhound is Delta bound, mama
Baby boy done finally found
Said this greyhound is Delta bound, mama
Baby boy done finally found his way

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome)
Said take me hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome)

Here we go

Hot damn you should’ve felt the groove
Like I was swimming in a sea of soul
The sun was rising and the day was hot
And we was all about to loose control
My daddy turned his face up towards the sky
And I knew that there was nothing to lose
I felt the crowd breathe in and I closed my eyes
And we disappeared into the groove

Said take me hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome)
Take me hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome)
Said take me hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome)

Straight from the water
Straight from the water children
Straight from the water
Straight from the water children
Straight from the water
(Hoo ooo ome, Hoo ooo ome)
Straight from the water children
(Hoo ooo ome, Hoo ooo ome)
Straight from the water
(Hoo ooo ome, Hoo ooo ome)
You don’t know nothing about this

Take me hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome) (Hoo ooo ome)
Said take me hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome) (Hoo ooo ome)
Said take me hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome) (Hoo ooo ome)
Said take me hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome
(Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome) (Hoo ooo ome)
Said take me hoo, hoo, hoo, hoome
(Hoo ooo ome)(Hoo ooo ome)

Said take me home
(Hoo ooo ome)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Said take me home
(Hoo ooo ome)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Take me home
(Hoo ooo ome)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Said take me home
(Hoo ooo ome)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Said take me home
