When you climb to the top of the mountain
Look out over the sea
Think about the places perhaps
Where a young man could be
Then you jump back down to the rooftops
Look out over the town
Think about all of the strange things
Circulating round
It ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to get to heaven
When you're going down
Well, all the people have got their problems
That ain't nothing new
With the help of the good Lord
We can all pull on through
We can all pull on through
Get there in the end
Sometimes it'll take you right up
And sometimes down again
It ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to get to heaven
When you're going down
Satisfaction, satisfaction
Keep me satisfied
I've got the love of
A hoochie coochie woman
She calling from inside
She's a-calling from inside
Trying to get to you
All the woman really wants
You can give her something too
It ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to get to heaven
When you're going down
It ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to get to heaven
When you're going down
