THE LONG ROAD HOME (P McNaught 2025)
Key Of D (1 1/2 bar intro)
[Verse] Dusty boots on cracked, dry ground, The setting sun, it’s sinking down. A brittle fence, a lonesome tree, The long road home is calling me.
[Verse 2] Miles of memories stretch behind, Of love I lost, and love I’ll find. The stars ignite, the sky’s ablaze, This winding path holds better days.
[Chorus] The long road home, it winds and weaves, Through fields of gold and autumn leaves. With every step, I’m not alone, I feel the pull,(of) the long road home.
[Verse 3] The crickets hum, the coyotes cry, A painted moon hangs in the sky. My heart beats strong, it knows the way, To where my soul longs to stay.
[Bridge] A voice, it whispers through the trees, A promise carried on the breeze. It tells me where my roots belong, And fills my heart with steady song.
[Chorus] The long road home, it winds and weaves, Through fields of gold and autumn leaves. With every step, I’m not alone, I feel the pull, of the long road home.

Sometimes you just have to say f### it and do it anyway!
Pete, cool tune. Your vocals are more authentically country (and enjoyable) than 90% of what I'm hearing on the radio/streaming/etc these days. Super bridge and overall arrangement, too. Great job!

Pete, I love classic country and you are extremely good at it! Outstanding vocal, lyrics, backing tracks, and mix. I could listen to music like this for hours. Loved it
PS - I really like the BiaB videos also.
Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer. It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

Mario, thank you once again for your lovely comment. I'm so glad you enjoyed the song.
I've been listening to some of your compositions and I must say what I've heard is really good stuff and your mastery of your instruments etc is top notch imo. I hope to include some of my own guitar playing at some point but need to improve for sure lol
