Well I'll tell you one thing that I know   You don't face your demons down    You gotta grapple 'em Jack and pin 'em to the ground   The devil may care, maybe god he won't   You better make sure you check on the do's and the don'ts      Crawl up a moutain    To reach where the eagles fly   To show you can glimpse from the mountian top    where the soul of the muse might ride      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 in the soles of my shoes   And thats the day I said I'm gonna make the news      And fallen back in the garden   The days so long ago   Somewhere in the memory    The sun shines on you boy      And playing in the Arroyo's   where the american rivers flow   From the Appalachians    Down to the Delta Roads      A man can think so long    His brain could well explode   The strings runnin' 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 stream lineup    Soundin' like the wolves of hell      Head for the water   The waters of the cleansing spell   It was always our destination   On the express of the ne'ver do wells      And we rocked through Madison's city   And we didn't even know she was there   And when we hit the bumpers in Memphis   Beale street didn't have no prayer      And I hear punks talk of anarchy   I hear hobo's on the railroads   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   Yeaaaah!
