Marc Broussard Lyrics

Rolling down the road, going nowhere,
Traveling aimlessly

Guitar packed in a trunk
Bringing the tools for creative expression

Somewhere around mile marker 1-12,
In an arbitrary place along the journey

Papa started hummin' the funk
Inspiration strikes unexpectedly

I gotta jones in my bones before they know,
Feeling a musical urge that needs to be expressed

We were singing this melody
Sharing a creative moment with a loved one

Stop the car pulled out the guitar,
Taking action on creative inspiration

Halfway to New Orleans
In the midst of a journey with an unclear destination

Said take me home
Expressing a desire for familiarity and comfort

Could feel the sun about to rise,
Noticing a change in the surroundings

When I realized we had nothing to fear
Feeling safe among loved ones

It's just me and my daddy and a kid named Cope,
Recognizing the power of a shared experience with loved ones

Making music that nobody would hear
Focusing on the joy of creativity itself, rather than seeking external validation

And then the sun let up and it split the night,
Acknowledging the changing of the night to day

Spillin' over our jubilee
Feeling overflowing joy and celebration

Ten thousand cars by the side of the road,
Seeing the impact of shared experiences beyond just one's own group

Groovin' far as the eye can see
Noticing the power of music to bring together large groups of people

This Greyhound is delta bound mama,
Leaving the journey behind and returning home

Baby boy finally found,
Feeling a sense of accomplishment and finding one's place

Here we go,
Starting anew

Hot damn you should have felt the groove,
Experiencing a powerful musical moment

Like I was swimming in a sea of soul
Feeling fully immersed in music

And we was all about to lose control
Letting go and fully experiencing the moment with others

My daddy turned his face up towards the sky,
Recognizing the joy of the present moment

And I knew that there was nothing to lose
Fully embracing the moment without fear or reservation

I felt the crowd breathe in and I closed my eyes,
Feeling connected to others through music

And we disappeared into the groove
Losing oneself in a powerful musical moment

Straight from the water
A return to one's roots and origins

Straight from the water, children
A generational connection to one's heritage

You don't know nothin' about this
Feeling a sense of ownership and belonging to a particular cultural experience

Take me home
Expressing a desire for comfort and familiarity

Said take me home
Reiterating a desire for emotional safety and stability
