| 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 |
