Long Drive Home
Long Drive Home Every man is on a long drive home. But home doesn't always look the same. For some men it's the place they left — and the father who runs toward them anyway. For others it's the home they never had, the one they didn't know they were missing until someone walked in and lit it up. For others still, it's a person they found on the wrong side of a lie, on the same road, fighting the same fight. Outlaw country for the man who's still driving.
Track 1 — Dusty Road (instrumental)
Dusty Road is an outlaw country instrumental by R.J. Sloane — the opener. A man sits in his truck, talks himself off the ledge, and hits the road. Three words of resolve. One prayer. A harmonica carrying him down the highway. No destination yet — just the road and whatever is waiting at the end of it.
Track 2 — Long Drive Home
Long Drive Home is an outlaw country song by R.J. Sloane about the journey a man takes when he's the one who broke the relationship — and his father drives toward him, anyway. Arms wide. Joy he can't hide. The Prodigal Son with boots on, a truck in the lane, and a grandson who undoes everybody. Every man carries a long drive home. This one finally puts it into words.
Track 3 — Home I Never Had
Home I Never Had is an outlaw country love song by R.J. Sloane about a broken man who never believed he deserved anything good — until she walked in. He stopped believing he deserved anything good. Then she walked in — and everything he'd buried came back to life. A love song for anyone who ever thought they were too far gone to hope.
Track 4 — Same Kind of Fool (feat. Hunter Sloane)
Same Kind of Fool is an outlaw country duet by R.J. Sloane featuring Hunter Sloane — a smoky alto with a Western edge. Two undercover operatives spent weeks lying to each other's faces. Now they know the truth. Same side. Same mission. Same fire neither one planned for. The deception isn't the wound — the kiss before the reveal is. Two liars who can't lie about this.
