Season ticket on a one-way ride

Asking nothing, leave me be

Taking everything in my stride

Don't need reason, don't need rhyme

Ain't nothing I would rather do

Going down, party time

My friends are gonna be there too

I'm on the highway to hell

Highway to hell

On the highway to hell

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, paid my dues

Playing in a rocking band

Hey mama, look at me

I'm on my way to the promised land

I'm on the highway to hell

Highway to hell

I'm on the highway to hell

Highway to hell

Don't stop me

I'm on the highway to hell

Highway to hell

I'm on the highway to hell

Going down

Highway to...

Hey Rock fans, what's up?

Let's try to understand this classic?

Many people say this song is about the first AC/DC tour in America

'Cause back then they were being much accused of Satanism

And because of that they were quite mistreated in some more religious states

And Angus Young described this tour as "A highway to Hell"

Before the release of the album Highway to Hell

But there's also a story

That combines better with the lyrics in my opinion

There's a road in Australia

AC/DC home country

Called Canning Highway

But it has the nickname "Highway to hell"

Because many people die there

Precisely because part of this road is a steep decline

With no stop signs or speed limit

This road runs from Fremantle where the lead singer Bon Scott lived

And ends at a bar which was a big rock 'n' roll drinking hole in the '70s

So the song would be about Bon Scott, who is the composer

Taking the highway to hell to meet his friends at the bar

What do you think?

A difficult tour in America

A killer road in Australia

Or neither, is the song about something else?
