- So, you think you're a Romeo playin' a part in a picture show?
Well, take the long way home.
Take the long way home 'cause you're the joke of the neighborhood.
Why should you care if you're feeling good?
Well, take the long way home.
Take the long way home.
There are times that you feel you're part of the scenery.
All the greenery is comin' down, boy, and then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture.
Oh, it's peculiar; she used to be so nice.
When lonely days turn to lonely nights, you take a trip to the city lights and take the long way home.
Take the long way home.
You never see what you want to see; forever playing to the gallery, you take the long way home.
Take the long way home.
When you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable-oh, unforgettable-how they adore you.
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity-oh, calamity, or is there no way out?
Oh-yeah!
Does it feel that your life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy.
When you look through the years and see what you could have been-oh, what you might have been if you would've had more time.
So, when the day comes to settle down, well, who's to blame if you're not around?
You took the long way home.
You took the long way home.
You took the long way home.
You took the long way home.
You took the long way home.
You took the long way home.
You took the long way home.
You took the long way home.
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Long way home.
Long way home.
Long way home.
Long way home.
Long way home.
Long way home.
Long way home.

Been living in this broken framework of life for over 50 years. This song is exactly how I think many of us feel. For me; It’s time to take the long way home. Not sure where that is anymore. But I’m certainly tired of feeling like a piece of broken furniture with no way out. This song has become a more meaningful the older I get. It’s prophetic genius that many understand
Jesus is the loving way home. He has a loving home for you in Heaven, if you realize He is Love, Forgiveness, Understanding, Healing, the Way, the Truth, and Life Himself. Let Jesus love you!
Making sure no one else is harmed (kids) take care of yourself. Your time is limited, use it wisely.
You are important in this world. There is a plan for you, just don't know what it is and may never know if a smile to a stranger saved their life or your words about this song. It reminds me of a photo of have of my Dad walking alone infront of the real Home Sweet Home back in East Hampton, NY. I think back as he passed at the age of 58, that because he had a sense of humor, I can see now he was the joke of the neighborhood. I also found out after he passed how many people he had helped..he was a good man as I am sure you are good person. I see my Dad in that black & white photo today as taking the long way home. He was a man who never knew how many people's lives he touched and helped during their rough times. You are helping me through the recent loss of my Mom. Hold on. When it is our time, we all take the long way home. You are worth more than you know.
Watch out one of these days you will be 68 like me and still feel the same. Home is in your soul. That is what I have learned. Physically it then does not matter where you are.
You are more valuable than you may think. Others see you differently than you might see yourself. Never forget that!
My dad loved this song. He would play it while we were driving through the mountains to our farm…….i miss him so much! 😢 I wish I could go back in time.
The blessing is having been there...Let go gently...
This song may sound sad to me & make me cry sometimes as it sounds like the story of my life but the lyrics have a happy ending. I used to love taking the long way home before losing the ability to drive due to developing drug resistant absence epilepsy at age 31 after finally getting my simple partial seizures under control caused by the grey matter heterotopia discovered before turning 22 after mistaking them for panic attacks at age 16. I’m 40 now & recently lost my mother to breast cancer but I’d like to thank my great family, friends, & coworkers for making it easier to deal with as I found the real long way home.
Same! I'm 51, and this song will always bring me to tears. My Dad would play it every time he drove his tribe of children home after a weekend visitation with him. Mick (my Dad) died 3 months ago, and I will never hear this song again in the same way.
Something about this song seems to evoke emotional response from many people starting with the " high lonesome intro".
It's a good song ,resonates with the soul
For me, I have been having a rough time, and and last night was a breaking point; decisions had to be made. … I couldn’t get this song outta my head, and hadn’t heard it since my tweens. I played it yesterday morning and again this morning and - though grieving - I am… ok with the decisions I made. Music does have charms to soothe.
The howl of the harmonica
It's a deep song, that we can all relate to. None of us get out of this life alive.
L'ululato dell'armonica mi graffia l'anima ❤
I always love taking the long way home. I've always wondered what was over the next ridge. Took me a long time to get home sometimes. But then,,,,,,,, I'm always home wherever I'm at.
An enlightened attitude!
Very good song. Reminds me of my childhood, because it seemed I would hear this song on the radio quite often.😊
I cry every time...happy tears sad tears, I remember sitting in the back seat of mom's 1977 yellow Mercury Marnark, it was raining the year of perhaps 1979
Same here. My dad would play the classic rock station as we drove across LA and this song played really often
Same.
If you would have more time. Dear God I feel this soooo much!
this is the exact same play list . id pick . n im 60 . great choices .
Sometimes we all have to " Take The Long Way Home"
Reminds me of the year 2014 when I was married that's when I first learned to enjoy this song even though I'm 53 I picked it up very late in life where I actually learned to enjoy it. I'm divorced now unfortunately since 2020.😊
For many people to Take the long way home ,means a retreat in the hide lonely soul castle...
The lyrics in this impeccable
File pulled out of the back of my brain. Kenwood stack and a homemade cassette growing up with dad. He liked it loud. I don't think you ever make it home if you take the long way
Depends on what’s at the end? Married 55 yrs work hid the problem, then it was sneaking out at midnight down to the pub then arseup in the car park hospital Mrs guess the rest. If your a coward then definitely take the Long Road Home
Gen X from '72 here.
I recall hearing this on local 📻 1st release living in DC.
Still worth it at 51yrs young Sun 6-2-24.
Thank you for sharing it with the lyrics.
Just reminds of when I was married
Me too that's so interesting how you say that I was married from 2012 to 2020 I dearly miss my wife
awesome lyrics!
Still can't get enough! Yay!
I’ve been almost bed ridden for over 2 years.
Pain…..
I’ve taken the long way.
I’m ready to go home.
To know life is to know pain. Whgen we go , I hope if anything we can take with us, is memories.
Bad with the good
It's just the way it is never and that's life
Forgot where I heard this yesterday but glad I did
So many sad people posting their feelings. Brings up that 64 thousand dollar question... what's the point of it all? I'm 66 in a few weeks and I'm still trying to figure that one out. Believers tell you that Jesus and God love us, but we have to live like saints to receive their gift of everlasting life in a paradise Earth. Sixty-six years and I still can't make myself believe in that philosophy. So here we are, still taking the long way...home.
Parece que fue ayer cuando la escuché en 1979 .
Hmm yeah yeah yeah take the long way home eh😮
Love your choice of font.
Its about dying alone. 💯
Came here after featured in the end credits of THE CONTINENTAL 3 part event...
SO RELEVANT. All your life you've been told you're perfect, never wrong, important, a "Romeo." WELL GUESS WHAT? You grow up, and people tell you what they think of you! Believe what they think and take the long way home...or figure it out that you AREN'T ROMEO and live a happy life!
Work hard and be whoever you want, many of us can be more than just Romeo, we can be more than a single person often is, we can do anything we believe, we can be greater. Can't say the same for you
Any body remember the TV film Blind Faith
That is where I go listen to it.😪
