Ridin' down the highway Goin' to a show Stop in all the by-ways 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
Плывём по течению Ходим на выступления Останавливаемся во всех пунктах Играем рок-н-ролл Нас грабят Напиваемся вдрызг Нас избивают Ломают кости Добиваемся Достигаем Поверьте на слово Это труднее чем кажется Долог путь на вершину если хочешь играть рок-н-ролл Долог путь на вершину если хочешь играть рок-н-ролл Ты думаешь легко играть всю ночь напролёт Пытаться играть в группе Долог путь на вершину если хочешь играть рок-н-ролл Отель, мотель Заставит тебя плакать Девушка нас раскручивает Знает для чего это Стареем Седеем Напиваемся Нам недоплачивают Продаемся Через вторые руки Вот как оно происходит Игра в группе Долог путь на вершину если хочешь играть рок-н-ролл Долог путь на вершину если хочешь играть рок-н-ролл Если ты хочешь быть звездой сцены и экрана Оглядись, это тяжело и кое-чего стоит Долог путь на вершину если хочешь играть рок-н-ролл
High Voltage is the first internationally-released album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. Originally released on Atlantic Records, this edition of High Voltage has proven popular, selling 3 million units in the United States alone. However, the album was panned by some critics upon its release, including a review by Rolling Stone magazine that called it an "all-time low" for the hard rock genre. It was re-released in 2003 as part of the AC/DC Remasters series.

Overview
Prior to the release of the international version of High Voltage, AC/DC had already released their debut album under the name High Voltage a year before. This album was released in Australia only and had a different track listing than the international release, which only included two tracks from the original album. The international release of High Voltage also had a different album cover than the original, featuring a picture of Angus Young as he appeared on the single for "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" released in Australia. A third cover was also used on the international version's original European release.
Most editions of the international album have a version of "It's A Long Way To The Top" that is shorter than the version on the original Australian release. The full length version is 5:15, while the edited version fades out early at 5:01. Vinyl editions of the international album contain the edited version. The 1994 remastered CD on Atco Records restored the track to the full length. The 2003 remastered CD on Epic Records reverts back to the edited version again.
