A song I wrote about a coming home.
Singer/Songwriter
I'm a singer/songwriter.
Story behind the song
I wondered what it would be like to come home from the West coast to the east on a train, to find out if one's love was still waiting for them. And this song was born.
Lyrics
LONG TRAIN, SLOW RIDE
J. Michael Tracy male vocal group/uptempo
Long train, slow ride
Back in another lifetime, you became my lifeline
The inspiration to my songs
Heard fame and fortune callin
Lost my head--and now I’ve fallen
Learned the hard way, where I belong
I’m ridin this
Long train, slow ride
Misty mornin sun
On a rocky mountainside
Backwoods country town
Crystal mountain air
I’m commin back tomorrow
Will ya still be there
Will you be there
I’m tellin you right now, I’ll make it up to you somehow
If you can only see
Been taught, a bitter lesson
Now on this train confessin
You’re where my heart was always meant to be
I’m ridin this
(chorus)
(bridge)
I’ve had time to practice
Just what I’ll say
And I guarantee
It will make your day I’m on this
(chorus)
