• 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
  Ladies do the hard sell
  Know the reason why
  Gettin' old
  Gettin' gray
  Gettin' ripped off
  Underpaid
  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
  
  It's a long way
  It's a long way
  It's a long way
  Such a long way Writer/s: Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Ronald Scott

• Gabs from SydneyAs teens we’d sing “it’s a long way to the shops if you wanna sausage roll” usually the morning after a big night out watching bands in the cross
• John Mack from PerthGetting it right... "It's a long way to the SHOP if you want a sausage roll"
• Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganMy favorite AC/DC song, along with For Those About To Rock (We Salute You). This song is played a half-step down, in E-flat standard.
• Glenn Langemeier from Hildesheim, GermanyThere is also a very good cover of this great song from Motörhead!
• Ethan from Tennessee, United StatesCurrent AC/DC vocalist Brian Johnson doesn't perform this song out of respect for Bon Scott, since the song was considered to be Scott's signature song.
• Dane from Green Cove Springs Fla., FlLove this song.It just rocks.I even like the bagpipes.Bon Scott era AC/DC was the best,In my opinion.This or Powerage is their best album.
• Blake from Lancaster, Oh@Bradyn , Melfort, SK: Actually there was a TNT album released before the international High Voltage. It's A Long Way To The Top first appeared on the TNT album. The High Voltage that you are thinking of was their first international album and was a combination of TNT and a different album titled High Voltage.
• Luke from Manchester, EnglandWhy does this site constantly call AC/DC "heavy metal"? They're a hard rock band who's lead guitarist plays distorted blues riffs.
• Frank from Melbourne, Australiathey sing "it's a long way to the SHOP if you want a saussage roll"
• Spiro from Bethlehem, PaI have an 8 year daughter who LOVES this song. Everytime we get into my car I have to put in my Bonn Fire cd set and play it for her.
  
  Bonn Scott is and was the greatest front man. Unfortunately his death put AC-DC over the top.
• Bradyn from Melfort, SkThe album isn't TNT, that's a song on the album. The album is called High Voltage.
• Austin from Bristow, VaRock N' Roll ain't no walk in the park. This song says all. Rock on AC/DC.
• Rachel from St Albert, AbThis song was written by Bon and George.
  Bon would write little ideas in his note book, and George would help him out. He'd even get Malcolm to help. He'd call him over and say "Mal, come bail me out".
• Mike from Ponoka, AbWhen I Heard This Song.... I Reliezed That Rock 'N'Roll Will Never Die! :)
