Long Road Home

[Intro] (Driving acoustic guitar riff quickly overtaken by pounding Hard Techno k**k drum and a distorted, rising synth swell, hinting at DnB energy) [Verse 1] Sunset bleeds on asphalt grey Another hundred miles to go today Dashboard lights the only glow This big rig's hummin', movin' slow Memories flicker like the radio Static voices, come and go A faded picture tucked away Of a front porch swing at end of day [Pre-Chorus] Steel guitar cries a lonesome sound But the bass drum pounds into the ground Synthesizer starts to climb Leavin' yesterday behind Headlights cut the dusty air Gotta get back from somewhere [Chorus] It's a long road home (K**k drum pounds relentless, heavy) Through the thunder and the rain (Saw-wave synth stabs cut sharp) Wheels keep turnin', carryin' the pain (Drum and Bass breakbeat explodes - fast, intricate snares) Past the city glow, beneath the stars alone (Melodic synth lead weaves over the top) Yeah, it's a long, long road home (Massive, distorted EDM bass drop shakes the core, tempo pushes hard) [Verse 2] Checked the map a thousand times Crossed another broken county line Coffee cold and nerves are thin Gotta push this engine to the brim Thought I heard a fiddle sigh But it's just the wind rushin' by A ghostly echo in the night Of a campfire burnin' warm and bright [Pre-Chorus] Steel guitar cries a lonesome sound But the bass drum pounds into the ground Synthesizer rips the sky Leavin' questions asking why Headlights cut the dusty air Gotta get back from somewhere [Chorus] It's a long road home (Hard Techno k**k dominates, relentless) Through the thunder and the rain (Glitchy synth effects skitter) Wheels keep turnin', carryin' the pain (Full DnB b**t rolls, complex and driving) Past the city glow, beneath the stars alone (Harmonic synth pads swell underneath) Yeah, it's a long, long road home (EDM drop hits harder, bass deeper, tempo maxed) [Bridge] (Shift: Tempo holds, but b**t simplifies slightly. Acoustic guitar returns briefly, clear but urgent, layered with a melancholic synth pad and a deep, rumbling sub-bass) Miles turn into years sometimes Chasin' distant, faded chimes That promise waitin' just beyond The next horizon, dawn has dawned Every bump, every jarring mile Wipes away another smile But somethin' pulls, relentless, deep A promise whispered in my sleep [Verse 3] Signpost says the county's changed But these old hills feel rearranged Same old pines against the dawn This weary journey nearly gone Gravel crunches underneath Past the field and river's teeth See the light upon the hill Standin' silent, waitin' still [Chorus] It's a long road home (Final chorus: Elements combine. Hard k**k, DnB snares, saw synths, melodic lead, all at peak intensity) Through the thunder and the rain Wheels keep turnin', carryin' the pain Past the city glow, beneath the stars alone Yeah, it's a long, long road home! (Ad-lib: Whoa! / Almost there! - layered, slightly distorted) [Outro] (Abrupt cut of most elements, leaving only a fast, intricate DnB drum loop and the persistent Hard Techno k**k drum. The acoustic guitar riff from the intro returns, playing against the electronic b**t. Gradually, the b**t starts to glitch and stutter. The guitar becomes cleaner, more prominent. The k**k drum fades first, then the DnB loop distorts and dissolves into digital noise. Finally, the acoustic guitar plays the riff once more, clean and clear, before fading out completely into silence).
