Song Lyrics

You don t face your demons down, ya better you make sure The, where the soul of the muse might rise
Of days so long ago, ya better you make sure, you didn t even once relent
By the holes in the soles of my shoes, i hear hobos on the railroads
And pin em to the ground, the waters of the cleansing spell Shadow, and that s the day i said
And we rock through madison city, crawl up the mountain
Crawl up the mountain, you know you cast
It s those men who build the roads, you know you cast, there s always rock an roll

it was always our destination
listen to the country
Beale street didn t have no prayer, from the appalachians The, there s always rock an roll
You won t have to look around, well i ll tell you one thing that i know
there s trains runnin through the junctions
well i ll tell you one thing that i know
i hear mutterings on the chain gangs

of days so long ago
To reach where the eagles fly, ya better you make sure
And king cotton s down the road, and if you put it all together, his brain could well explode
beale street didn t have no prayer
You didn t even once relent, somewhere in my soul
You check on the do s and the don ts, you won t have to look around
i m gonna make the news

On the express of the ne er-do-wells, there s always rock an roll
Crawl up the mountain, you didn t even once relent, well i ll tell you one thing that i know
And falling back in the garden, you don t face your demons down Strummer, and when we hit the baffles in memphis
Then one day i could tell my tracks, i hear mutterings on the chain gangs
maybe god he won t
there s always rock an roll
and that s the day i said

Crawl up the mountain, playing in the arroyos
where the soul of the muse might rise
Crawl up the mountain, from the appalachians
And that is your testament, and that s the day i said, i m gonna make the news
Well i ll tell you one thing that i know, the sun shines on you
listen to the country
Maybe god he won t, and king cotton s down the road Strummer, it was always our destination

there s always rock an roll
you check on the do s and the don ts
And we rock through madison city, you gotta grapple em
where the american rivers flow
Playing in the arroyos, i m gonna make the news
On the express of the ne er-do-wells, a man can think so long Joe, sure you can glimpse from the mountain top
Crawl up the mountain, then one day i could tell my tracks Mescaleros, then one day i could tell my tracks

ya better you make sure
the devil may care
Maybe god he won t, where the soul of the muse might rise
where the american rivers flow
and if you put it all together
and i hear punks talk of anarchy
From the appalachians, to reach where the eagles fly

You know you cast, you won t have to look around, head for the water
Then one day i could tell my tracks, down to the delta roads, you don t face your demons down
I hear hobos on the railroads, listen to the country
On the express of the ne er-do-wells, it s those men who build the roads, i hear mutterings on the chain gangs
You won t have to look around, the devil may care The, ya better you make sure
ya better you make sure
And falling back in the garden, and if you put it all together, you didn t even once relent

You won t have to look around, there s trains runnin through the junctions Mescaleros, and that s the day i said
of days so long ago
I m gonna make the news, well i ll tell you one thing that i know
beale street didn t have no prayer
