Riding down the highway
Going to a show
Stop in all the by-ways
Playing rock 'n' roll
Getting robbed, getting stoned, getting beat up, broken-boned
Getting had, getting took, I tell you folks, it's harder than it looks
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doing one night stands
Try playing in a rock 'n' roll band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna to rock 'n' roll
Hotel, motel
Make you want to cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Getting old, getting grey, getting ripped off, underpaid
Getting sold, second hand, that's how it goes, playing in a band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out, it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way
Such a long way
It's a long way
Such a long way
