Foreigner - Long, Long Way From Home Lyrics






It was a Monday
A day like any other day
I left a small town
For the Apple in decay

It was my destiny
It's what we needed to do
They were telling me
I'm telling you

I was inside looking outside
The millions of faces
But still I'm alone
Waiting, hours of waiting
Paying a penance
I was longing for home

I'm looking out for the two of us
I hope we'll be here when they're through with us

I was inside looking outside
Oh the millions of faces
But still I'm alone
Waiting, hours of waiting
I could feel the tension
I was longing for home

I'm looking out for the two of us
And I hope we'll be here when they're through with us
I'm a long way from home

Monday, sad, sad Monday
She's waiting for me
But I'm a long, long way from home

Sad, sad Monday
She's waiting for me
But I'm a long, long way from home

Sad, sad Monday
Oh she's waiting for me
But I'm a long, long way from home

  39. A.... W....

    Anyone here NOT cause of supernatural? im here because I remember when this was released

    A.... W....

    I'm here because when I was a teen in the mid 00's we didn't have MP3 players, we all used CD players. It was midwestern Kansas after all. So I grubbed my hands on any CD I could, and my mom had a "Greatest Hits" for Foreigner. That's where I first heard this.

  40. S.... D....

    The road so far... I love you, Sam and Dean!

  41. R.... L....

    It was written on tour bus passing by my town on the NYS Thruway Lou Gramm said it on Rockline

  42. c.... ....

    My childhood brought me here

    c.... ....

    Same here

  43. H.... ....

    Some versions say "I'm coming home!"
    Others say "I'm a long way from home!"

    Eithet way, at the end of the day, this song is a dessert to the ears

  44. L.... M....

  47. L.... B....

    Who gives a fuck about some show called Supernatural it must be some kind of hit cause just about every comment I read says Supernatural brought me here

  48. L.... x....

    I grew up on this music but supernatural is making me listen to it again.

  49. d.... g....

    This band along with other bands of the same nature in the same time frame are timeless genius!!! Fuck today's music!!!!!

  50. l.... s....

    Supernutbagtitus?
    Foreiner rules.

    l.... s....

    *sends a gif of Sam and Dean threathening someone in synchronisation, the fandom knows which one*

  51. r.... c....

  61. D.... H....

    🥀I'm looking out for the 2 of us🥀☝️

  62. S.... P....

    When I hear this song I think about sam and dean in the impala

  63. K.... B....

    I’m a Foreigner fan since like 1975.... Such a kick ass, great Band!!!

  64. D.... H....

    🥀This song is Amazing more than I can put into words but it reminds me of some1 from my past & a certain situation that they should have wrote this song no chit!◇

  65. W.... B....

    for the record I had this taste in awesome rock n roll before ever watching supernatural lol

  66. W.... B....

    supernatural is a badass and funny show they have an awesome cast of actors , awesome music and most importantly a very sexy badass 67 chevy impala lol can't leave "BABY" out

  67. A.... C....

    I got here from a stick fight game idk anything about supernatural haha

  68. d.... ....

    Lou gramm is from my hometown! Hes talking about moving from Rochester NY to New York City when foreigner was first formed and his experiences in the big city

  69. G.... S....

    That sax is so good........

  70. s.... v....

    I know how it feels to be looking from inside staring outside

  71. E.... B....

    this brings me back to 1978 ...me a young 20 yrs kid from Puerto Rico on training with the US Army at Ft Gordon, GA...blasting this song at the Jukebox ( remember those?) at the NCO club

    E.... B....

    Such a great time, and so many great songs back then.

  72. K.... C....

    Senior year of High School 1978- I drove a 70 Mustang with a factory AM/8-Track- No FM. I had a case that held eight 8-track tapes., sat btwn the bucket seats as this was before they started putting arm rests/consoles there.- This was one of the tapes. Hearing it made me have some serious flashbacks. God I wish I was 18 again lol

    K.... C....

    Perfect scenario. Such good memories from back then!

  73. C.... K....

    Lou gramms voice is so.iconic

  74. M.... N....

    I'm going to find a supernatural video, and let em know that foreigner brought me....

  75. A.... ....

    Damm it sammy this hole thing is spinning out of control :(

  76. M.... Q....

    I’m here because of Marlon Webb

  77. K.... S....

    Early Foreigner was a very interesting mix and mystery. The sound of his voice versus the synthesizer and, the clavinet is very strong. The guitar just kind of lays back there and Rifts away. And the real Missing Link is the incredible saxophone playing of Ian McDonald. He was the secret weapon of early Foreigner

  78. A.... ....

    For those that may not know, this song is about Lou's trip to audition for the band in New York City (the apple in decay), from his hometown of Rochester (small town) - knowing this puts the entire song in context...  :^)

    A.... ....

    Had no idea, but a great song all around!

  79. P.... R....

    screw supernatural. im here for the pleasure of listening to classy music

  80. P.... R....

    👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

  81. P.... R....

    Whenever this song comes on, I picture myself in a late night night drag race in my dream 68 camaro ss

    P.... R....

    HAHAHA! Nice! Great scene right there.

  82. J.... G....

    Rock-N-Roll from the old turf. Thanks for the memories.

    J.... G....

    Great song from a great time!

  83. J.... M....

    This song was one I listened to when I was in basic in the Army and thinking of my girl back home.

    J.... M....

    Do we care no

  84. M.... D....

    I have always loved this song. And after reading comments I have something to look forward to on Supernatural!! Win Win!!

  85. r.... 0....

    Supernatural 💘

  86. L.... ....

    Monday motivation! Kkj

  87. t.... ....

    One of their absolute best songs!!!

    t.... ....

    So great!

  88. J.... Z....

    I have always like this song for the faint echos of King Crimson.......

  89. J.... R....

    *SUPERNATURAL* 💘

  90. T.... L....

    I'm here because this was my first and only album I had when I was 16. (On 8 track!)😉

  91. U.... P....

    still listening just because of SPN and Dean

  92. J.... z....

    This is the only song I like by this band.

  93. A.... R....

    Young dean......

  94. J.... M....

    Before "supernatural" I listened to this because it has a link to my military service and how that went.

  95. A.... ....

    Got turned on to this song from supernatural its so freaking good!

  96. G.... S....

    I love me some Foreigner in the morning...

  97. m.... s....

    Friend of mine bought this on 8 track back then and the idea was Foreigner was going to save rock 'n roll. When I heard the second album and Hot Blooded, I knew that they weren't the answer. Punk music was the answer. This and Feels Like The First Time hold up pretty well.

  98. C.... H....

    Primarily about Lou Gramm leaving to join the band who were mainly British (remnants of Spooky Tooth & King Crimson) but moved to the states, "I left a small town.." (Rochester NY)
    ..for the Apple in decay!" (NYC) yeah, it wasn't a "nice clean" city back then!

  99. C.... ....

    I am here because....I actually remember this song when it was released.
