The song drops ahead of his tour with Nate Smith and 2025 Stagecoach debut
Multi-No. 1 songwriter John Morgan releases the heartrendingly smooth “Long Ride Home,” as his party starter anthem “Friends Like That” featuring Jason Aldean surges into the Top 30 on country radio. Leaning into his small-town, blue-collar roots, “Long Ride Home” tells the story of a hard-working 18-wheeler truck driver making his way back home to her.
Joining Nate Smith for his 2024 Through The Smoke Tour this fall and his Stagecoach Festival debut in 2025, “Long Ride Home” is John’s gift to fans before hitting the road.
The boldly gritty artist consistently shows why he’s one of Nashville’s most sought-after writers, having written a multitude of songs for not only Jason Aldean but Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch, Thomas Rhett, and more.
“Friends Like That” was originally featured on his 2023 debut EP, Remember Us? – his six-song introduction that mixed his signature “sad-boy country” heartbreakers with lively up-tempo barn burners, effortlessly flowing between romantic relatability and nostalgia to crank-it-to-ten singalongs.
Morgan is readying even more new music to release very soon.
