ThijsTerug naar afgelopen zondag 15 juli iets na de klok van 22 uur. Steve Earle begon met “First off, I want to appologise for my f*cking President” waarna hij het nummer ‘Christmas In Washington’ verder in leidde. En ondanks dat het al weken erg lekker weer is, is het nummer ‘Christmas In Washington’ de plaat van de week geworden. Prachtig nummer en vooral het intro voor het concert van afgelopen zondag is het beluisteren waard!
I followed in your footsteps once
Back in my travelin’ days
Somewhere I failed to find your trail
Now I’m stumblin’ through the haze
But there’s killers on the highway now
And a man can’t get around
So I sold my soul for wheels that roll
Now I’m stuck here in this town
Come back Woody Guthrie
Come back to us now
Tear your eyes from paradise
And rise again somehow
If you run into Jesus
Maybe he can help us out
Come back Woody Guthrie to us now
There’s foxes in the hen house
Cows out in the corn
The unions have been busted
Their proud red banners torn
To listen to the radio
You’d think that all was well
But you and me and Cisco know
It’s going straight to hell
So come back, Emma Goldman
Rise up, old Joe Hill
The barracades are goin’ up
They cannot break our will
Come back to us, Malcolm X
And Martin Luther King
We’re marching into Selma
As the bells of freedom ring
So come back Woody Guthrie
Come back to us now
Tear your eyes from paradise
And rise again somehow
