Well I’ll tell you one thing that I know
You don’t face your demons now
If you gotta grab ’em Jack and pin ’em 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 a moutain
To reach where the eagels fly
To show you a glimps from the mountian 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 in the souls and the shoes
And thats the day I said I’m gonna make the news
And fallen back in the garden
In the days so long ago
Somewhere in the memory
The sun shines on you boy
And playing in the aroyals
where the american rivers flow
From the Apelacians
Down to the Delta Roads
A man can’t think alone
His brain could well explode
The strings runnin’ through the junctions
And king cottons 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
A pill 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
‘Cause 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!
