"Love Is a Long Road" is a song by Tom Petty from his 1989 first solo album Full Moon Fever. Although only released as the B-side to "Free Fallin'" in the UK, and not released as a stand-alone single, it received a fair amount of radio airplay. In the US, it peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart.
The rock song was co-written by guitarist Mike Campbell, who was inspired by a motorcycle he owned. The musician told "I was really into that frame of mind. This feels like a motorcycle shifting gears."
"Love Is a Long Road" appears on the 2000 double-disc compilation album Anthology: Through the Years, as well as on the 1995 box set Playback.
In 2023, the song was used in the first trailer for the video game Grand Theft Auto VI. The trailer was viewed over 114 million times in two days and led to a 36,979% increase in streams on Spotify.
