about

Billy Carl: I'm still on the city theme with this song. Basically just about keeping your eyes open and keeping your guard up. We got kind of a rock-a-billy groove on this one. Even included a washboard track after seeing Clifton Cheniere's son play at, of all places, The Museum of Fine Arts.

lyrics

Long Road Home
©Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason), Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

Walking down a city street
Eyes cast down unto your feet
Don’t look up, might catch a glance
It’s so hard to break this trance
Tell me what is wrong with this
I know what is wrong with this

If you take the long road home
Don’t forget where you are
If you take the long road home
Don’t forget who you are

Maybe if I try to smile
I can walk another mile
People tend to open wide
I will show them, I won’t hide
I know what is wrong with this
You know what is wrong with this

If you take the long road home
Don’t forget where you are
If you take the long road home
Don’t forget who you are
Maybe you should buy a car!
