(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]
