Long Trip Alone

Dierks_Bentley_-_Long_Trip_Alone

Album: Long Trip Alone

Album Release Date: October 17, 2006

Label: Capital Records Nashville

Producer: Brett Beavers

Track 3: “Long Trip Alone”

Single Release Date: November 13, 2006

My Thoughts/Interpretation/Insights: The third track on the album is the title track, “Long Trip Alone”. This is the second of four singles released from the album. It is a great song that deals with the difficulties of life, and how having someone to bear the challenges with you makes it easier. In the CD liner notes, Dierks writes, “To Cassidy, whose smile I rest beneath”. That line is in this song.

I’m going to get a little ahead of myself here for a moment…When I hear this song I can’t help but think of it as a prelude to “Woman, Amen“, the first single from Bentley’s current album, The Mountain.

Listen to the song and follow along with the lyrics below! Bonus: I have also included the official video and a live version from YouTube. Enjoy!

Long Trip Alone
Written by Steve Bogard, Brett Beavers and Dierks Bentley

It’s a long trip alone over sand and stone
That lie along the road that we all must travel down

So maybe you could walk with me a while
And maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Everybody stumbles sometimes and needs a hand to hold
‘Cause it’s a long trip alone

It’s a short piece of time, but just enough to find
A little peace of mind under the sun somewhere

So maybe you could walk with me a while
And maybe I could rest beneath your smile
You know we can’t afford to let one moment pass us by
‘Cause it’s a short piece of time

And I don’t know where I’d be without you here
‘Cause I’m not really me without you there

Yeah, yeah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, oh

So maybe you could walk with me a while
Maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Everybody stumbles sometimes and needs a hand to hold

So maybe you could walk with me a while
Maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Maybe I could feel you right beside me ’til I’m home
‘Cause it’s a long trip alone, a long trip alone
