The
ghost of Tom Joad
Man
walks along the railroad track
He's Goin' some place, there's no
turnin' back
The Highway Patrol chopper comin'
up over the ridge
Man sleeps by a campfire under the
bridge
The shelter line stretchin' around
the corner
Welcome to the New World Order
Families sleepin' in their cars
out in the Southwest
No job, no home, no peace, no rest,
NO REST!
And
The highway is alive tonight
Nobody's foolin' nobody is to
where it goes
I'm sitting down here in the
campfire light
Searchin' for the Ghost of
Tom Joad
He
pulls his prayer book out of a sleepin' bag
The preacher lights up a butt and
takes a drag
He's waitin' for the time when the
last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the
underpass
With a one way ticket to the
promised land
With a hole in your belly and a
gun in your hand
Lookin' for a pillow of solid rock
Bathin' in the cities' aqueducts
And
The highway is alive tonight
Nobody's foolin' nobody is to
where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the
campfire light
With the Ghost of old Tom Joad
Now
Tom Said; "Ma, whenever ya see a cop beatin' a guy
Wherever a hungry new born baby
cries
Whereever there's a fight against
the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me ma'
I'll be there
Wherever somebodies stuglin' for a
place to stand
For a decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody is strugglin' to
be free
Look in their eyes ma,
You'll see me! (x8)
And
the highway is alive tonight
nobody's foolin' nobody is to
where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the
campfire light
With the Ghost of Tom Joad.
