He traded mama's porch, daddy's guitar, Sunday hymns and summer rain for silver and a heart full of pain. But the years have a way of teaching what the young heart never knew. "Long Way Back to Me" is a song about the road home to yourself. Every scar and every memory, the road he lost and the key he finally found. Now his hair is turning silver and his steps are moving slow, but there's a peace in every morning he never used to know. It's a smoky late-night soul blues at about 80 bpm, with a steady swinging groove, a deep warm gravelly male lead, bluesy electric guitar fills, warm Hammond organ, gentle piano, upright-style bass, brushed snare, and a gospel choir lifting the final chorus. Pour something slow, dim the lights, and take the long way back. --- LYRICS [Verse 1] I've been rambling down these highways Since I was barely twenty-one Chasing every neon promise Running from the setting sun [Pre-Chorus] But the years have a way of teaching What the young heart never knew [Chorus] It's been a long way back to me Every scar and every memory I lost my road, I lost my key It's been a long way back to me [Verse 2] Mama's porch and daddy's guitar Sunday hymns and summer rain I traded all of that for silver And a heart full of pain [Pre-Chorus] But the years have a way of teaching What the young heart never knew [Chorus] It's been a long way back to me Every scar and every memory I lost my road, I lost my key It's been a long way back to me [Bridge] Now my hair is turning silver And my steps are moving slow But there's peace in every morning That I never used to know [Final Chorus] It's been a long way back to me Every scar and every memory I found my road, I found my key It's been a long way back to me Yes, a long way back to me [Outro] Long way back, long way back to me --- Credits Artist: Burn Slow Channel: Burn Slow Music AI disclosure: This lyric video is AI-assisted.
