To the Top of the World(It's a Long Way) - The Osborne Brothers/Various Artists

It's a long long way to the top of the world

A young fool filled with green 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 down

Now I'm a big man with money but at love I'm a pauper

Though what 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 and 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

But it's only a short fall back down
