Well, I?ll tell you one thing that I know   You don?t face your demons down   You got to grab 'em jack   And pin 'em to the ground      The Devil may care and maybe God he won?t   Better make sure, you check on the 'Do?s' and the 'Don?ts'      Crawl up the mountain   To reach where the eagles fly   Sure you can glimpse from the mountaintop   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   By the holes in the soles of my shoes   And that the day I said   ?I?m gonna make the news?      And falling 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?t think so long   His brain could well explode   There?s trains running through the junctions   A King comes 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 are destination   On the express of the Ne?er Do Wells   And we rock through Madison City   And we didn?t even know she was there      And when we hit the Buffers in Memphis   And Beale street didn?t have no prayer   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
