Well I’ll tell you one thing that I know
\nYou don’t face your demons down
\nYou gotta grapple ’em Jack and pin ’em to the ground
\nThe devil may care, maybe god he won’t
\nYou better make sure you check on the do’s and the don’ts<\/em><\/p>\n

Crawl up a moutain
\nTo reach where the eagles fly
\nTo show you can glimpse from the mountian top
\nwhere the soul of the muse might ride<\/em><\/p>\n

And if you put it all together
\nYou won’t have to look around
\nYou know you cast a long shadow on the ground<\/em><\/p>\n

Then one day I could tell my tracks
\nAbout the holes in the soles of my shoes
\nAnd thats the day I said I’m gonna make the news<\/em><\/p>\n

And fallen back in the garden
\nThe days so long ago
\nSomewhere in the memory
\nThe sun shines on you boy<\/em><\/p>\n

And playing in the Arroyo’s
\nWhere the american rivers flow
\nFrom the Appalachians
\nDown to the Delta roads<\/em><\/p>\n

A man can think so long
\nHis brain could well explode
\nThe strings runnin’ through the junctions
\nA king comes down the road<\/em><\/p>\n

And if you put it all together
\nYou won’t have to look around
\nYou know you cast a long shadow on the ground<\/em><\/p>\n

Listen to the country
\nThe night jar and the bell
\nListen to the night stream lineup
\nSoundin’ like the wolves of hell<\/em><\/p>\n

Head for the water
\nThe waters of the cleansing spell
\nIt was always our destination
\nOn the express of the ne’er do wells<\/em><\/p>\n

And we rocked through Madison’s city
\nAnd we didn’t even know she was there
\nAnd when we hit the bumpers in Memphis
\nBeale Street didn’t have no prayer<\/em><\/p>\n

And I hear punks talk of anarchy
\nI hear hobo’s on the railroads
\nI hear mutterings on the chain gangs
\nIt was those men who built the roads<\/em><\/p>\n

And if you put it all together
\nYou didn’t even once relent
\nYou cast a long shadow
\nAnd that is your testament<\/em><\/p>\n

Somewhere in my soul
\nThere’s always rock and roll<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a9 Joe Strummer<\/p>\n
