This tune is a poignant tale of a man seeking solace and escape after experiencing heartbreak. 🚚💔 The 'long white line' symbolizes the open road, which he sees as his only way to deal with the pain of losing his love. He decides to leave everything behind, including his old town and even his money, to embark on an endless journey across different cities like New York City and Albuquerque. His truck becomes his companion in this journey of solitude and self-discovery. The repeated lines "Tell 'em I'm somewhere looking for the end of that long white line" indicate his determination to keep moving forward, hoping to eventually find peace or maybe even a new beginning at the end of this metaphorical 'long white line'.
Long White Line
Lyrics
I won't be around this old town anymore
For a long long time
Gonna hit the road and start looking
For the end of that long white line
Tell 'em I'm somewhere looking for
The end of that long white line
I woke up my baby was gone
Without her I don't need no home
Gonna hit the road and start looking for
The end of that long white line
Tell 'em I'm somewhere looking for
The end of that long white line
Went to the bank to get my dough I don't care where I go
Gonna' push this rig 'til I push that girl out of my mind
If somebody wants to know what's become of this so and so
Tell em' I'm somewhere looking for
The end of that long white line
Tell em' I'm somewhere looking for
The end of that long white line
New York City, Old St. Joe, Albuquerque New Mexico
This old rig is humming and rolling, she's doing fine
If somebody wants to know what's become of this so and so
Tell em' I'm somewhere looking for
The end of that long white line
Tell em' I'm somewhere looking for
The end of that long white line
New York City, Old St. Joe, Albuquerque New Mexico
This old rig is humming and rolling, it's doing fine
If somebody wants to know what's become of this so and so
Tell em' I'm somewhere looking for
The end of that long white line
Tell em' I'm somewhere looking for
The end of that long white line
I won't be around this old town anymore for a long long time
Gonna hit the road and start looking for
The end of that long white line
Tell em' I'm somewhere looking for
The end of that long white line
