| Riding down the highway
|
| Goin' to a show
|
| Stoppin' on the by-ways
|
| Playing rock & roll
|
| Gettin' robbed, gettin' stoned
|
| Gettin' beaten, broken bones
|
| Gettin' had, gettin' took
|
| I’ll tell you folks, it’s harder than it looks
|
| It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock & roll
|
| If you think it’s easy playing 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 makes you wanna cry
|
| Ladies do the hard sell, know the reason why
|
| Gettin' old, gettin' gray
|
| Gettin' ripped off, underpaid
|
| Gettin' sold, secondhand
|
| That’s how it goes playing in a band
|
| It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock & roll
|
| If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
|
| Look out, it’s tough and mean
|
| It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock & roll |
