It's a Long Way to the Top

Ridin' down the highway, goin' to a show

Stoppin' on the byways, playin' rock 'n' roll

Gettin' robbed, gettin' stoned

Gettin' beat up, broken-boned

Getting had, getting took, no!

I tell you folks, it's harder than it looks

It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll

It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll, 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 want to rock 'n' roll, oh baby

Hotel, motel, make you want to cry

Lady, do the hard sell, she knows the reason why

Gettin' old, gettin' grey

Gettin' ripped off, underpaid

Gettin' sold, second-hand

Oh, that's how it goes, playin' in a band

It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll

It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll

Oh, if you wanna be a star on stage, and screen

Look out, it's rough, and mean

It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll

It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll

C'mon, Rose

It's a long way

It's a long way

Oh, it's a long way

Yeah! Such a long way

Sit up, ah!
