1
Well I'll tell you one thing that I know
2
You don't face your demons down
3
You gotta grapple 'em Jack and pin 'em to the ground
4
The devil may care, maybe god he won't
5
You better make sure you check on the do's and the don'ts
6
Crawl up a mountain
7
To reach where the eagles fly
8
To show you can glimpse from the mountian top
9
Where the soul of the muse might ride
10
And if you put it all together
11
You won't have to look around
12
You know you cast a long shadow on the ground
13
Then one day I could tell my tracks
14
About the holes in the soles of my shoes
15
And that's the day I said I'm gonna make the news
16
And fallen back in the garden
17
The days so long ago
18
Somewhere in the memory
19
The sun shines on you boy
20
And playing in the Arroyo's
21
Where the American rivers flow
22
From the Appalachians
23
Down to the Delta Roads
24
A man can think so long
25
His brain could well explode
26
The strings runnin' through the junctions
27
A king comes down the road
28
And if you put it all together
29
You won't have to look around
30
You know you cast a long shadow on the ground
31
Listen to the country
32
The night jar and the bell
33
Listen to the night stream lineup
34
Soundin' like the wolves of hell
35
Head for the water
36
The waters of the cleansing spell
37
It was always our destination
38
On the express of the never do wells
39
And we rocked through Madison's city
40
And we didn't even know she was there
41
And when we hit the bumpers in Memphis
42
Beale street didn't have no prayer
43
And I hear punks talk of anarchy
44
I hear hobo's on the railroads
45
I hear mutterings on the chain gangs
46
It was those men who built the roads
47
And if you put it all together
48
You didn't even once relent
49
You cast a long shadow
50
And that is your testament
51
Somewhere in my soul
52
There's always rock and roll
53
Yeah!
