I think of this one as: hauling a tow sack down a cotton row. again a very arduous task.
Lorri, who never picked cotton but my husband did a little. "A long road to tow" means absolutely nothing. Roads are stationary, and aren't moved by towing. In any event, a colloquial expression is always something that relates to the experiences of those who use it in conversation, so since roads weren't towed, or toed, that expression is clearly a bastardization of the original phrase.
