It's a Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
