Listen & Lyrics: Ian Munsick ‘Long Haul’
Ian Munsick made his Warner Music Nashville debut with “Long Haul.”
The singer/songwriter released the single accompanied by a music video on Friday (September 18). Ian wrote the track alongside Jamie Kenney and Dave Villa.
“When I close my eyes and let my ears take over, I’m right back to the sacred piece of Earth I grew up on…. coyotes, mountains, canyons, cottonwoods, rivers and the sagebrush sea. True love’s journey is as rugged as the Rockies, but that’s exactly what makes it a trip worth taking. It ain’t a one day ride, it’s a long haul.”

All About Ian Munsick
Breathing fresh Rocky Mountain air into the Nashville music scene, Ian Munsick is pioneering a new brand of country. The Wyoming-born singer/songwriter’s upbringing was a mix of working the ranch and working crowds. Under the tutelage of their fiddle-playing father, Ian and his two older brothers grew up playing everything from bluegrass to The Beatles. Incorporating elements across genres, he has now begun to establish himself as a progressive artist with an old soul. Captivated by traditional lyrical truth and the modern soundscape, Ian followed his ear to Music City. In 2017 he released a self-titled EP, winning iHeartRadio’s Rocky Mountain Song of the Year for the rootsy “Horses Are Faster” and becoming the only artist who simultaneously qualified two tracks as finalists in the NSAI/CMT songwriting competition. Equipped with a full ready-for-release collection of songs, the 27-year-old signed his first major-label deal earlier this year with Warner Music Nashville. His upcoming debut album Coyote Cry features his mile-high tenor underscoring self-penned songs that conjure equal parts epic adventure and down-to-earth wisdom. The record marks the dawn of western pop-laced country, pulling a thread straight from Chris LeDoux through Post Malone. Ian’s first WMN release debuted September 18 on CMT and with it, the western country was reborn.
‘Long Haul’ Lyrics
I don’t ever look back
No you never gotta
Worry ’bout things like that
So don’t think twice because
I ain’t afraid of the slow burn
And one thing’s for sure
It’s good to make a good thing last
So girl don’t worry
This boy ain’t gonna run
There ain’t no hurry
We got plenty of days left under the sun
No it ain’t a one-day ride
It’s up through the mountains where the coyotes cry
Down through the canyon where the wild things hide
And the cottonwoods fall
Feel the river underneath our feet
We’ll be drowning in a sagebrush sea
Long as I know that it’s you and me
Time don’t matter at all
Girl I’m in it for the long haul
I’m in it for the long haul
Take a hold of my hand
I’m gonna love you
Slow like the hourglass sand
God knows I’ve spent a lifetime
Of lonely wanderin’
But I’m all in for good
I wanna be your man
So girl don’t worry
This boy ain’t gonna run
There ain’t no hurry
We got plenty of days left under the sun
No it ain’t a one-day ride
It’s up through the mountains where the coyotes cry
Down through the canyon where the wild things hide
And the cottonwoods fall
Feel the river underneath our feet
We’ll be drowning in a sagebrush sea
Long as I know that it’s you and me
Time don’t matter at all
Girl I’m in it for the long haul
I’m in it for the long haul
Girl I’m in it till the end
Forever and again
I’m in it for the long haul
I don’t ever look back
No you never gotta
Worry ’bout things like that
