“Take The Long Way Home”
Supertramp
Released as the 4th single from Supertramp’s 1979 album ‘Breakfast In America’, this song hit the airwaves 10/1979 & peaked in early 1980 at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart & reached #4 in Canada. The last tune written for the album, it was composed during the 9-month recording cycle by Roger Hodgson, who says the song is about the desire to go home: “I’m talking about not wanting to go home to the wife, take the long way home to the wife because she treats you like part of the furniture, but there’s a deeper level to the song, too. I really believe we all want to find our home, find that place in us where we feel at home, & to me, home is in the heart & that is really, when we are in touch with our heart & we’re living our life from our heart, then we do feel like we found our home.”

“Take The Long Way Home”
John Schneider
~7 years after Supetramp’s tune, this song debuted 12/20/1986, spent 21 weeks on the charts & peaked at #10 in early 1987. This song, the 8th (of 9) straight Top 10 tune for this Mount Kisco NY native, discusses a different reason for taking the long way home … not having a wife to come home to anymore.
