Riding down the highway
Going to a show
Stop in all the byways
Playing rock & roll
Getting robbed
Getting stoned
Getting beat up
Broken boned
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 & roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock & roll
If you think it's easy doing one night stands
Try playing in a rock & roll band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock & roll

Hotel, motel
Make you want to cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Getting old
Getting grey
Getting ripped off
Under-paid
Getting sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playing in a band

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock & roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock & roll
If you think it's easy doing one night stands
Try playing in a rock & roll band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock & roll
