Its A Long Way To The Top If You Wanna Rock n Roll by Pat Boone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stoppin' on the byways
Playin' rock 'n' roll

[Pre-Chorus]
Gettin' robbed, gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up, broken boned
Getting mad, getting took
I tell you folks, it's harder than it looks

[Chorus 1]
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
Think it's easy doing one night stands?
Try playing in a rock-roll band
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll

[Verse 2]
Hotel, motel
Make you want to cry
Lady, do the hard sell
Know the reason why?
[Pre-Chorus]
Gettin' old, gettin' gray
Gettin' ripped off, underpaid
Gettin' sold, second-hand
That's how it goes, playin' in a band

[Chorus]
And it's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
Yeah, it's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
(want to rock 'n' roll)
If you wanna be a star on stage and screen
Look out, it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
Yeah

[Bridge]
If you want to rock 'n' roll

[Verse 3]
Hotel, motel
Make you want to cry
Lady, do the hard sell
Know the reason why?

[Pre-Chorus]
Gettin' old, gettin' gray
Gettin' ripped off, underpaid
Gettin' sold, second-hand
That's how it goes, playin' in a band
[Chorus]
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
Oh yeah, it's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
(want to rock 'n' roll)
I said, it's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
(want to rock 'n' roll)
It's a long way, but hey, let's go rock 'n' roll
Let's go
