Breakfast in America was a song as well as album title of Supertramp and is considered their biggest hit album. The song was written by lead vocalist Roger Hodgson.
It came out in 1979 on the album "Breakfast in America." Its actual title is "The Logical Song"
Roger Hodgson, the writer of the song, said this about the meaning of the song: " I see 'home' as being internal and external. It's kind of a play on words. Definitely part of the song is about the shallowness of success and getting caught up in a world and success and chasing, being popular, or whatever, is taking 'the long way home'. Because I think 'home' in its deepest sense is inside, is being at peace with oneself. Again it's ambiguous - 'if you're not around' means… you're dead or you couldn't settle down - you couldn't take it and you're off looking for things that are more important. It's a fun song! I remember having a lot of fun writing it but never really having a clear picture of it. It was more… often when I write songs, I go by gut instinct. A line comes to me and they usually do come to me… the best lines come to me rather than me trying to think them up consciously and I just feel they're right and I go with them whether I totally understand the meaning or not. " Older answer Yes , that's the right way to describe a super tramp, that might be an adventures journey long way from home in search of or seeking something which u never felt before.....

I'm pretty sure it's the tv movie "Blind Faith" with Joanna Kerns & Robert Urich. I remember she was driving along with one of their sons and that song, which I love, was playing on the car radio.
Song is is in the Key of C but you would play cross harp using a harmonica in the Key of F.

The TV Movie that ended with "Take the Long Way Home".....was 1989's BLIND FAITH. The man murdered his wife, had 3 devoted sons.....and a girlfriend.
