It's A Long Way To The Top Lyrics - Dead Moon

(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
