Lyrics
I'm thinking 'bout going home
Riding down 95 alone
Singing all my favorite songs
Long road is like an old friend
I'm thinking 'bout laying low
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
Take it easy, take it slow
Long road is like an old friend
Sun shining on my face
Hold my head up high
I come from a place
Where the women are strong, smart and fine
Before the stop light
You'll see the sign
It's "I - Vaw" or you might say "Ivor"
Don't look like much til' ya get inside
But we got family and a whole lot of pride
I'm going home
Riding down 95 alone
Singing all my favorite songs
Long road is like an old friend
I'm thinking 'bout laying low
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
Take it easy, take it slow
Long road is like an old friend
We ridin' towards to the tide
But it's a little greener on this side
Who made them collard greens, sweet potato jacks
You got corn liquor and a little bit of yock o'mein
I'm headed to the service station, you wanna send?
Play 222 before the deacon pull in
And when you get to Carroll's 66 put it on tab
For Dot and Ren
I'm thinking 'bout going home
Riding down 95 alone
Singing all my favorite songs
Long road is like an old friend
I'm thinking 'bout laying low
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
Take it easy, take it slow
Long road is like an old friend
Sun shinin on my face, picture me as a kiddo
In da backseat, catchin some air, arm out da window Wit da
" *, do it how I remember
Pop would slow it down to 34 miles per hour in Windsor had da
" *, ... country dreams of
Ridin inda pick up truck bed, feelin da country breeze
" *, remember you and me
Was buyin Vernice cigarettes before 17
" *, ... ye'en grown, until da
First time unc let ya get some of his corn liquor
" *, ... a lovely vision is a
Legendary spread laid out for Thanksgiving
" *, ... you know da game
2 decks onda table, it's on we playin spades
" *, ... we know da slang
Callin er'ybody "cuz" who needs to remember names
Uh, cruise control set, my windows cracked
Sunroof wide open, seat laid back
I'm feelin good today, let me fix my hat
Sun shinin' on my face, hey where my shades at?
A serenade to da place, mama and granny laid
My uncles and aunties raised, me and my cousins played
Visions of younger days, they gave us vital tools
Sweet Sadie summer mornings right before Bible school
Good ol' country livin', small town vibes
One traffic light, like 20 stop signs
5 churches, roads got ditches on both sides
)And er'ybody family somewhere down da line
So, this is an ode to long, long road
That sorta became my bro on my way back home
Like a daydream onda jetstream, you know da story
I'm 420 on 460, let's say I owe em 40
