AC/DC - It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll) Lyrics






Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the byways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' 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 doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

Hotel motel
Make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin' sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playin' 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
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
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

Well it's a long way
It's a long way, you should've told me
It's a long way, such a long way

    Bon Scott on the bagpipes has to be one of the best examples of how we can improve ourselves

    L.... ....

    You could make a simple improvement by using your real bloody name.

  77. T.... 3....

    Thats Rock at its best :)

  78. C.... D....

    Who the hell would have thought of bagpipes in a rock song? Only Bon Scott

  79. M.... ....

    Sure puts Military parades and RAAF flyovers to shame 😆

  80. N.... W....

    They don't make music like this anymore. Instead we have idiotic rhyming , mumbling, and hand gesturing.yo you beeotch. And what not. You know what I'm saying.

    N.... W....

    Plenty of good bands out there making class music. You obviously aren't listening properly.

  81. A.... V....

    TUBE AND BURGEE STRAIGHT AHEAD

  82. R.... H....

    Roses are Red,violets are Redder,Mal,Cliff & Phil," No Backup better!!

  83. B.... Y....

    The Young clan going strong!

  84. J.... R....

    what other band could do that and make it sound so good

  85. B.... N....

    Everyband after Acdc was just a stupid rip off of acdc including D.J. fuckface.

  86. B.... N....

    Its long way from Perth where Bon is from to the cross if hes hanging out for a sausage roll. Its a long way the shop if you want a sausage roll.

  87. B.... N....

    This song makes me want to holler for a marshall.

  88. m.... ....

    After Bon passed Brian never sang this song out of respect for Bon Scott.
    I am Forever and always be a Bon Girl..
    But after learning this I do respect Brian.

  89. D.... R....

    Long live rock n roll

  90. C.... G....

    Vote: Bon Scott or Brian Johnson? I personally love both

    C.... G....

    Bon Scott ► ►►Brian Johnson

    C.... G....

    Bon forever

  91. J.... B....

    E.r. how is it going

  92. J.... B....

    Acdc long way to the top
