Lyrics: Highway To Hell by AC/DC
Living easy, lovin' free Season ticket on a one way ride Asking nothing, leave me be Taking everythin' in my stride Don't need reason, don't need rhyme Ain't nothing I'd rather do Goin' down, party time My friends are gonna be there too, yeah I'm on the highway to hell On the highway to hell Highway to hell I'm on the highway to hell No stop signs, speed limit Nobody's gonna slow me down Like a wheel, gonna spin it Nobody's gonna mess me around Hey Satan, payin' my dues Playing in a rocking band Hey mama, look at me I'm on the way to the promised land Woo! I'm on the highway to hell Highway to hell I'm on the highway to hell Highway to hell Don't stop me Heh, heh! I'm on the highway to hell On the highway to hell Highway to hell I'm on the highway to hell (Highway to hell) I'm on the highway to hell (Highway to hell) Highway to hell (Highway to hell) Highway to hell (Highway to hell) And I'm going down All the way I'm on the highway to hell
Breaking Down the Meaning
Celebrating Rebellion and Freedom
“Highway To Hell” by AC/DC is an unapologetic anthem of rebellion, freedom, and living life on one’s own terms. The lyrics paint a picture of someone embracing a carefree, wild lifestyle, unburdened by rules or expectations. Phrases like “season ticket on a one way ride” and “no stop signs, speed limit” symbolize a relentless journey without restrictions. The song captures the spirit of rock and roll—bold, energetic, and defiant—while also hinting at the consequences of such a lifestyle. Rather than expressing regret, the narrator celebrates the ride, joined by friends and a sense of camaraderie, making the journey as important as the destination.
