"Long Way to Go" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Alan Jackson.

It was released in June 2011 as the lead-off single from his seventeenth studio album Thirty Miles West, and debut on his new label EMI Records Nashville.

When Alan Jackson was asked of his self-penned song he stated, "Seems like every time you turn around lately there's just something heavy going on in the world, so I felt like singing something that was kind of light and fun.

"[1] Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a B, stating that, "More than twenty years in, Alan Jackson’s sounding as great as ever, delivering a vocal that’s all charm, personality and general tunefulness.

After his last few singles (‘Hard Hat and a Hammer,’ ‘It’s Just That Way,’ ‘I Still Like Bologna’) failed to gather much attention on country radio, people began to wonder if he was saving his best material for his new label.
