Originally, Woolbright set out to secretly write and record this song during her engagement in 2020, with plans to gift her soon-to-be husband at their wedding.  But like most plans in 2020, hers for this song crumbled due to the pandemic pushing back the ability to record, as well as delaying their wedding celebration.  Woolbright and her now husband ended up getting married in their backyard 3 months prior to when they had planned.  Now happily married in 2021, Woolbright is finally getting to gift her husband with this groovy love track.  It has hints of old school soul and motown sounds, but still maintains a modern pop flare.  Long Game was written as a direct love letter to her beloved, but is also meant to serve as an anthem for lovers everywhere who are playing the “long game”!

Lyrics:
V1
I rocked a minivan all the way to Portland 
Oregon, not Maine, we had no plans
Me and my friends
Trying to make the best spring break we had ever had
Thirty-hour drive, cross country 
When we got tired and had to stop 
We pulled over and slept in a Denny’s parking lot

CH
Road trippin’ on the open road
With GPS that tells us where to go 
There’s nothin’ better than making memories and
Borrowing my parents’ minivan
Road trippin’ on the open road
Headed west so we could see the show 
There’s nothin’ better than good college friends and
Cruising in my parents’ minivan
There’s nothin’ better than cruising in a minivan

V2
All we wanted was a little adventure
So we got it by showering at truck stops 
Driving up Pikes Peak in Colorado
And sleeping in our hammocks in the forests of Utah
Like Lewis and Clark, stopped when we hit the ocean
The sun on the Pacific glowed
Too good to be true, wish time had slowed

CH
Road trippin’ on the open road
With GPS that tells us where to go 
There’s nothin’ better than making memories and
Borrowing my parents’ minivan
Road trippin’ on the open road
Headed west so we could see the show 
There’s nothin’ better than good college friends and
Cruising in my parents’ minivan
There’s nothin’ better than cruising in a minivan

BR
No classes, no jobs
Just one whole week to explore 
We had the time of our lives

CH
Road trippin’ on the open road
With GPS that tells us where to go
Road trippin’ on the open road
With GPS that tells us where to go 
There’s nothin’ better than making memories and
Borrowing my parents’ minivan
Road trippin’ on the open road
Headed west so we could see the show 
There’s nothin’ better than good college friends and
Cruising in my parents’ minivan
There’s nothin’ better than cruising in a minivan
There’s nothin’ better than cruising in a minivan
