Intro

 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

 You 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 thru 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 thru 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
