The Ghost of Tom Joad |
Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks |
Goin' someplace there’s no goin' back |
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the bridge |
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge |
Shelter line stretchin' 'round the corner |
Welcome to the new world order |
Families sleepin' in their cars in the southwest |
No home no job no peace no rest |
The highway is alive tonight |
But nobody’s kiddin' nobody about where it goes |
I’m sittin' down here in the campfire light |
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad |
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag |
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag |
Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last |
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass |
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land |
You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand |
Sleepin' on a pillow of solid rock |
Bathin' in the city aqueduct |
The highway is alive tonight |
But nobody’s kiddin' nobody about where it goes |
I’m sittin' down here in the campfire light |
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad |
Now tom said mom, wherever there’s a cop beatin' a guy |
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries |
Where there’s a fight against the blood and hatred in the air |
Look for me mom I’ll be there |
Wherever there’s somebody fightin' for a place to stand |
Or a decent job or a helpin' hand |
Wherever somebody’s strugglin' to be free |
Look in their eyes mom you’ll see me |
The highway is alive tonight |
But nobody’s kiddin' nobody about where it goes |
I’m sittin' down here in the campfire light |
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad |
