The Long Way Home | Dusty Delta Blues for the Road Back to Her

Somewhere south of nowhere, with the engine running cold. If you're still waiting by the door, I'll never leave you anymore. Dark Delta blues: slide guitar, stomp and clap, and a gritty, weathered baritone. Dusty and cinematic. ▶ New song: Take Me Higher →    • Take Me Higher | Joyful Gospel Blues to Li...   Music and vocals created with AI tools (Suno). Lyrics written with AI assistance. Lyrics I left town with forty dollars and a chip upon my shoulder Swore I'd come back rich and proud, but I only came back older Every mile was a lesson, every bar was a school And every woman that I left behind just proved I was a fool I'm taking the long way home Down every road I swore I'd never roam If you're still waiting by the door I'll never leave you anymore I'm taking the long way home I slept in cars and cheap hotels, I worked in fields and fires I learned the price of pride, my friend, is paid in broken tyres And somewhere south of nowhere, with the engine running cold I finally saw your face again, and I knew where I should go I'm taking the long way home Down every road I swore I'd never roam If you're still waiting by the door I'll never leave you anymore I'm taking the long way home Now the porch light's in the distance and my heart is in my throat I've got nothing in my pockets but a promise and a coat If you open up that door, I'll spend my life to make it right If you don't, I'll understand, and I'll just drive into the night Some men need to lose it all to learn what they had And the long way home is the only way back I'm taking the long way home Down every road I swore I'd never roam If you're still waiting by the door I'll never leave you anymore I'm taking the long way home The long way home #DeltaBlues #SlideGuitar #DarkBlues
