Well I’ll tell you one thing that I know You don’t face your demons down You got to grap them, Jack Bend them to the ground
The devil may care – And maybe God he won’t You better make sure you check on the do’s and the don’ts Crawl up the mountain reach where the eagles fly Sure you can glimpse from the mountain top Where the soul of the muse might rise
And if you put it all together You won’t have to look around You know you cast a long shadow on the ground
Then one day I could tell my tracks About the holes of the soles of my shoes And that’s the day I said I gonna make the news And falling back in the garden Of days so long ago Somewhere in the memory The sun shines on you, boy
Playing in the Arroyos Where the american rivers flow From the Appalachians Down to the delta roads
A man can think so long His brains could well explode There’s trains runnin’ thru junctions King Kongs down the road
And if you put it all together You won’t have to look around You know you cast a long shadow on the ground
Listen to the country – the night jar and the bell Listen to the night streamliner Sounding like the wolves of Hell Head for the water – The water of the cleansing spell It was always our destination On the express of the never do wells
And we rock thru Madison City Man, we didn’t even know she was there And when we hit the buffees in Memphis Beale Street didn’t have no prayers
And I hear punks talk of anarchy I hear hobos on the railroad I hear mutterings on the chain-gangs It was those men who built the roads
And if you put it all together You didn't even once relent You cast a long shadow And that is your testament Somewhere in my soul There's always Rock and Roll Yeah
