"A Long Run Home"

In 1981, Cerone recorded "A Long Run Home," a song released as a 7" single on the Reel Dreams label. The song, written by Carl Henry and Bill Hudak and recorded in Newington, Connecticut, is sung from the point of view of a Newark baseball player visiting a New York Stadium during a snowstorm. The record sleeve notes that "Rick Cerone's royalties will be donated to the Italian Earthquake Victims Fund." The single failed to chart in the US.

Famous quotes containing the words long, run and/or home:

    You know, it’s not the world that was my oppressor, because what the world does to you, if the world does it to you long enough and effectively enough, you begin to do to yourself.
    James Baldwin (1924–1987)

    When this yokel comes maundering,
    Whetting his hacker,
    I shall run before him,
    Diffusing the civilest odors
    Out of geraniums and unsmelled flowers.
    It will check him.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    All the way home I kept remembering
    The small book in my pocket. It was there.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
