Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Riding down the highway
(Riding down the highway)
Going to a show
(Going to a show)
Stop in all the by-ways
(Stop in all the by-ways)
Playing rock n' roll
(Playing rock n' roll)
[Verse 2]
Getting robbed
Getting stoned
Getting beat up
Broken boned
Getting had
Getting took
I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Hotel motel
Make you wanna 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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
Oh, it's a long way
It's a long way
It's a long way
Such a long way
