We construct global $BV$ solutions to the Cauchy problem for the damped p-system, under initial data with distinct end-states. The solution will be realized as a perturbation of its asymptotic profile, in which the specific volume satisfies the porous media equation and the velocity obeys the classical Darcy law for gas flow through a porous medium.
