It's A Long Long Way To The Top Of The World Songtext

von Rice, Rice, Hillman & Pedersen

It's a long long way to the top of the world
Lyrics: Don Wayne
Music: Don Wayne

It's a long way to the top of the world
But its only a short fall back down

A young fool filled with greed, I let ambition rule me
Like a hunger that gnawed at my soul
I worked hard made my fortune but lost the heart of my darling
She got lonely and her love soon grew cold

It's a long long way to the top of the world
On a rough road that winds round and round
It's a long long way to the top of the world
But it's only a short fall back dwon

Now I'm a big man with money but at love I'm a pauper
The love I once had now another man claims
I've reached the top of the world but my heart hit rock bottom
I can't make love to fortune or fame

It's a long long way to the top of the world
On a rough road that winds round and round
It's a long long way to the top of the world
But it's only a short fall back down
