Lyrics
Long Way To The Top
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.
Rolling down the highway, going to a show
Stopping on the by ways, playing rock n 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 n roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
If you think it's easy doing one night stands
Try playing in a rock n roll band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
Hotel motel, make you wanna cry
Baby's on the hard sell, know the reason why
Getting old, getting grey
Getting ripped off, underpaid
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 n roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
If 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 n roll
Gotta tell ya
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
It's a long way, it's a long way, it's a long way
