- 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!
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 ❤
God that harmonica intro cuts through you like a lonely train whistle in the middle of the night out in the country
It's worth being older now, to have been young then, great era of music ,times and memories 🍻🎸
Still love this song in 2024
2025 💙
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.😊
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...
May your Father Rest in peace ✌ douglasfoley2060😊.
This song resonates with me on a deep level. Some souls are just taking the long way home.
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!
I will take this song with me 😊
Sometimes you have to enjoy the scenery… 🏡
Learn from the journey.
That’s how my mind works, Superman.
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.
I’ve been almost bed ridden for over 2 years.
Pain…..
I’ve taken the long way.
I’m ready to go home.
Nnumber 1 is the loneliest number.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ great great great great great great
Sometimes we all have to " Take The Long Way Home"
It just took me 65 years to find my way home.
THIS SONG ALONG WITH PINK FLOYD TELLS US HOW IMPORTANT PRESCIOUS TIME IS IN OUR LIVES. THIS BRINGS ME BACK TO MY HIGH SCHOOL YEARS.
From Breakfast in America. I think that album has the most hits of all Supertramps' Albums. 4, I think.
So glad somebody finally said the truth.
If you would have more time. Dear God I feel this soooo much!
Masterpiece
Thank you for sharing it with the lyrics.
For many people to Take the long way home ,means a retreat in the hide lonely soul castle...
awesome 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
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.
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
Still can't get enough! Yay!
Magical ❤
this is the exact same play list . id pick . n im 60 . great choices .
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.
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
Parece que fue ayer cuando la escuché en 1979 .
But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical
Oh, responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Oh, clinical
Oh, intellectual, cynical
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.
Love your choice of font.
It's just the way it is never and that's life
Timeless
65, retired vet of cold war and was big hit in 2/2acr, bamberg w germany from old DJ at le marquis
Its about dying alone. 💯
We took the wrong way HOME 🎉🎉🎉

Hmm yeah yeah yeah take the long way home eh😮
I see you in this story~•
❤❤❤
Came here after featured in the end credits of THE CONTINENTAL 3 part event...
I have to be an old soul
For many years thought lyrics were
Wife seems think you have big canoe
Fighter sounds like tiger
Any body remember the TV film Blind Faith
That is where I go listen to it.😪
Will we ever learn then We DIE it's a long way home 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Legends come from the John wick’s world.
forgot wheres home LOL
They write this for me? How I feel exactly
Clarkson's farm season 2 brought me here
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
✅️👍👏👏👏
42? Marathon race in km, dear Phillipides 😂

Hello 2025

If you want a good DJ jus ask jesus, i jus asked him to play me a song about humanities future he picks this one. I asked him to describe his love for me he picked a song by pat bennatar, the heart breaker dream maker song. Listen to both these songs. ❤nameste
Then you woke up.
I had no friends and no lover
I had no one
I forgot to ask for help it's all my fault
