Ridin down the highway
Goin to a show
Stop in all the by-ways
Playin rock n roll
Gettin robbed
Gettin stoned
Gettin beat up
Broken boned
Gettin had
Gettin took
I tell you folks
Its harder than it looks
Its a long way to the top
If you wanna rock n roll
Its a long way to the top
If you wanna rock n roll
If you think its easy doin one night stands
Try playin in a rock roll band
Its a long way to the top
If you wanna rock n roll
Hotel
motel
Make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin old
Gettin grey
Gettin ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin sold
Second hand
Thats how it goes
Playin in a band
Its a long way to the top
If you wanna rock n roll
Its a long way to the top
If you wanna rock n roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out its rough and mean
Its a long way to the top
If you wanna rock n roll
