[Verse 1]
Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the byways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
[PreChorus]
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken-boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you, folks
It's harder than it looks
[Chorus]
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 doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
[Verse 2]
Hotel, motel
Make you wanna cry
Ladies do the hard sell
Know the reason why
[PreChorus]
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Underpaid
Gettin' sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playin' in a band
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Well, it's a long way
Well, it's a long way
Listen to me
It's a long way
Such a long way
