(Young/Young/Scott - arr. Dead Moon)     Riding down the highway   Goin' to a show  Stoppin' on the by-ways   Playing rock & roll  Gettin' robbed, gettin' stoned  Gettin' beaten, broken bones   Gettin' had, gettin' took   I'll tell you folks, it's harder than it looks    [chorus]   It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock & roll  If you think it's easy playing one night stands   Try playing in a rock & roll band   It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock & roll    Hotel, motel makes you wanna cry   Ladies do the hard sell, know the reason why   Gettin' old, gettin' gray   Gettin' ripped off, underpaid   Gettin' sold, secondhand   That's how it goes playing in a band    [chorus]   It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock & roll  If you wanna be a star of stage and screen  Look out, it's tough and mean  It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock & roll  [chorus]
