It was written by Angus Young. They had a REALLY hard time touring in America for the first time, and Angus really hated it, because of all the satanism crap that was being said about them. Several states even tried to ban them form playing, but AC/DC's lawyers told them that it was illegal, so AC/DC took the states to court and won the battle to play, but the states wouldn't let them stay in any of the hotels in the state, which is legal, so the abnd had to stay in a hotel outside state limits, and then drive to the gig where they got jostled by the crazy uber-religious people.
Angus labled the drive to the gigs the "Highway to hell."
@Rock-dude Bon Scott wrote the lyrics, Angus came up with the title and wrote some of the music. But Mal was the one that came up with that killer main riff!
