(young/young/scott - arr. dead moon)



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



[chorus]

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



[chorus]

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

[chorus]
