“Long Ride Home”: A Journey Through the Open Road


“Long Ride Home” is more than just a song; it’s an evocative journey that paints a vivid picture of life on the road. Co-written with the talented trio of Kurt Alston, Tully Kennedy, and Lydia Vaughn, Morgan captures the essence of constant movement and the myriad experiences that come with it.


“I wrote it with Kurt Alston, Tully Kennedy, and Lydia Vaughn, and I don’t know what really inspired us that day. I think for me, it was just that we've been on the road so much over the last couple months,” Morgan shared with All Country News. This candid reflection underscores the authenticity that permeates his music.


"I think the song kind of speaks for itself in that regard about just, you know, everything you see when you are on the road: truck stops, all the neon lights, late nights, coffee. It's got all the little details I feel like that kind of wraps up what our life is like when we are actually out here."


The song delves into the quintessential elements of the touring life: truck stops glowing under neon lights, the solace found in late-night cups of coffee, and the fleeting moments of reflection amidst the chaos all while missing those at home.
