Rolling down the highway, going to a show    Stopping on 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 rock n roll    Hotel motel, make you wanna cry    Baby's on 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    Gotta tell ya    It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll    It's a long way, it's a long way, it's a long way
