Riding down the highway

Going to a show

Stop in all 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

Try playing in a rock 'n' roll band
