Journey of Soul: Marc Broussard's Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
Rolling down the road
Beginning a journey, physically moving down a road.
Going no where, guitar packed in the trunk
Traveling aimlessly, with a guitar in the trunk.
Somewhere around mile marker 112
Approximately at mile marker 112.
Papa started humming the funk
Father starts humming a funky tune.
I gotta Jones in my bones
Expressing a strong desire or craving.
Before I know, we be singing this melody
Anticipating singing a particular melody.
Stop the car, pull out the guitar
Decide to stop the car and play music.
Halfway to New Orleans
En route to New Orleans.
Said take me home, home, home, home
Repeated plea to be taken home.
Take me home, home, home, home
-Could feel sun about to rise
Sensing the sunrise.
When I realized we had nothing to fear
Realization that there is nothing to fear.
Just me and my daddy and a kid named Cole
Company includes father and a kid named Cole.
Playing music that nobody could hear
Playing music that goes unnoticed.
And then the sun let up and it split the night
The sun rises, creating a joyful atmosphere.
Spilling over our jubilee
-10, 000 cars by the side of the road
Observing a large crowd of cars.
Grooving far as the eye can see
Crowd is dancing and celebrating.
Said take me home, home, home, home
Repetition of the plea to be taken home.
Take me home, home, home, home
-Said take me home, home, home, home
-Said take me home, home, home, home
-This greyhound is delta bound mama
Expressing that the Greyhound bus is heading to the Delta, finding the way home.
Baby boy done finally found
-Said this greyhound is delta bound mama
-Baby boy done finally found his way home, home, home, home
-Said take me home, home, home, home
Reiteration of the plea to be taken home.
Here we go
-Hot damn you should've felt the groove
Feeling the rhythm intensely.
Like I was swimming in a sea of soul
Immersed in a soulful experience.
The sun was rising and the day was hot
Setting: sunrise, hot day, and losing control.
And we was all about to loose control
-My daddy turned his face up towards the sky
Daddy looking up, signifying a carefree attitude.
And I knew that there was nothing to loose
-I felt the crowd breathe in and I closed my eyes
Feeling the crowd's energy and closing eyes.
And we disappeared into the groove
Entering a state of complete absorption in the music.
Said take me home, home, home, home
Repetition of the plea to be taken home.
Said take me home, home, home, home
-Take me home, home, home, home
-Said take me home, home, home, home
-Straight from the water
Imagery of being straight from the water, possibly referencing origins or rebirth.
Straight from the water children
-Straight from the water
-Straight from the water children
-Straight from the water
-Straight from the water children
-Straight from the water
-You don't know nothing about this
-Take me home, home, home, home
Repetition of the plea to be taken home.
Said take me home, home, home, home
-Said take me home, home, home, home
-Said take me home, home, home, home
-Said take me home, home, home, home
-Said take me home
-Said take me home
-Take me home
-Said take me home
-Said take me home
Final plea to be taken home.
