Intro
Verse 1
I count my greasy quarters by the shutter on the street
The slush is seeping through the hole that sits beneath my feet
My knuckles keep on shaking with the paper in my hand
I tell myself I'm solid but I barely even stand
I took the muddy path that cuts behind the gravel track
I swore to mama last week that I'd never wander back
The frozen winter salt is piling dirty in the snow
There ain't a porch or kitchen where they'll let a junkie go
The sickness in my stomach runs so bitter and so deep
I pull my zipper higher cause I'm scared to go to sleep
I threw away my twenties like I dropped them in the drain
To buy myself another hour running from the pain
Hook
It feels so bitter on this long road
The wind is biting and the night's cold
I pull my collar up and walk slow
It feels so bitter on this long road
Verse 2
I search the ripping lining of my dirty winter coat
The sour taste of burning still is bitter in my throat
Ain't nobody on Albany that answers at their door
I used to have a bedroom now I'm nodding on the floor
I watched the only people that I used to call a friend
Just turn away and leave me at the bitter winter end
I stare into the diner glass and watch my fingers shake
And wonder how much damage that a beaten heart can take
The yellow pumps are buzzing as I stumble past the side
I threw away my dignity with nowhere left to hide
The canal water's freezing up beneath a sky of gray
I made it out the gutter and I bought another day
Hook
It feels so bitter on this long road
The wind is biting and the night's cold
I pull my collar up and walk slow
It feels so bitter on this long road
Bridge
I'm talking to the sidewalk while I pace the street alone
The regret is biting harder than the wind against my bone
Ain't nobody coming through to drag me past the county line
If I don't choose to drop it then the grave is gonna be mine
Hook
It feels so bitter on this long road
The wind is biting and the night's cold
I pull my collar up and walk slow
It feels so bitter on this long road
Outro
I'll find my way back to a real home
No longer broken as I roam
How this trap song was made.
“The long road” is an AI-generated Trap song with vocals, 3:38 long. It was created in Octa from one short text description: the lyrics, melody, vocal performance, arrangement and mix were all generated from that idea, then published by @matthewclemons39 to the Octa community in September 2026.
Listen for the 808 sliding between notes under the kick and the hi-hats rolling in triplets; the melody stays sparse so the low end can carry the song. The lyrics on this page are the exact words the AI wrote and sang for this track.
