Its a long way to the top But its a longer way down I know that you dont often drop By my side of town Spent a quarter century On the wrong side of the tracks But I left my old life And Im never going back Ill go with you I know its true Ill see it through Ill go with you The day I told me friends That Id be hanging out with you They laughed behind my back But there was nothing I could do Even though I knew That hey would not understand There aint no turning back When youve met the Son of Man
back, side, quarter, century, laughed
