Lyrics
I took the highway then turned off on a dirt road
Where the fields stretch out and the quiet rivers flowed
Passed the old mill town where my grandpa used to work
Each mile a memory each turn a different quirk
Taking the long way home
Through roads less known my heart has flown
Finding the pieces of my soul
On this winding path making me whole
I stopped by the schoolyard where we used to play and dream
Now it's overgrown but still it's serene
Met old faces and stories that time can't erase
In those weathered lines I found a familiar grace
Taking the long way home
Through roads less known my heart has flown
Finding the pieces of my soul
On this winding path making me whole
Underneath the starlit sky I lay down in fields of gold
Listening to the cricket's serenade bold
The moon whispers softly of who I used to be
In this quiet night I let my spirit free
Each town each landmark a chapter of my past
Revisiting roots in memories that last
With every step I take the closer I become
To the child I was and the man I've grown from
Taking the long way home
Through roads less known my heart has flown
Finding the pieces of my soul
On this winding path making me whole
Now I'm standing at the doorstep of the house where I was born
Feeling all the love and pain joyously worn
The journey taught me more than I ever knew I'd find
On the long way home the journey of a lifetime
