The band recorded three albums in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but were never able to make much of a dent in the national metal scene of the time due to the beginning of the grunge movement and bad record label management.

Long Way from Home
Slave Raider Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Set out on that wide open road.
Looking for action everywhere.
I got to tell you I've found my share.
Wild in women singing a song.
I found out that's where I belong.
That's where I am, that's where I'll stay.
And I'm still a long way from home.
I'm still a long way from home.
Time flies by so fast.
Got to try and make the good times last.
Can't think of anywhere I'd rather be.
Here I am take a look at me.
And I'm still a long way from home.
I'm still a long way from home.
Long long way from home
Long long way from home
Long long way from home
Guitar Solo...
I'm still a long way from home.
And never going back, no.
I'm still a long way from home.
But I'm not alone (not alone).
I'm still a long way from home.
Long away from home.
Long way from home.
Oohh! Yeah!!!
Long way from home

The singer seems content with their current situation and reflects on their journey and the experiences that have brought them to where they are now.
