It's a long way to the top (if you wanna rock 'n' roll)

Riding down the highway
Going to a show
Stopping on the byway
Playing rock and roll

Getting drunk, getting stoned
Getting beat up, broken bones
Getting had, getting took
I tell you, folks, it's harder than it looks

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll

Do you think it's easy doing one-night stands?
Try playing in a rock and roll band

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll, yay

Ah, hey

Hey

No town motel
Make you wanna cry
Made it to the hotel
Know the reason why

Getting old, getting gray
Getting ripped off, underpaid
Getting so sick of that
That's how it goes playing in a band

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll

Do 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 and roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll

Oh, it's a long way
Oh, it's a long way
Oh, it's a long way
Oh, it's a long way
