"Long Promised Road" is a song written by Carl Wilson and Jack Rieley for the American pop band The Beach Boys. It was first released as a single in May of 1971, and did not chart. It was then released on their 1971 album "Surf's Up", and was rereleased as a single, with a different b-side, 'Til I Die, in October of the same year. This time it made it to #89 on the Billboard Hot 100. Aside from a few guitar solos written in the early days of the band, the song is Carl Wilson's first composition, and he handles the lead vocal on the track.
