| [00:24.94] |
Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks |
| [00:30.26] |
Goin' someplace and there's nowhere to go back |
| [00:35.01] |
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge |
| [00:40.77] |
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge |
| [00:46.41] |
Shelter line stretchin' round the corner |
| [00:51.81] |
Welcome to the new world order |
| [00:56.71] |
Families sleepin' in their cars in the southwest |
| [01:02.41] |
No home no job no peace no rest |
| [01:06.02] |
|
| [01:08.39] |
The highway is alive tonight |
| [01:12.94] |
Nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes |
| [01:18.22] |
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light |
| [01:23.77] |
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad |
| [01:27.16] |
|
| [01:34.70] |
Takes a prayer book out of his sleeping bag |
| [01:39.81] |
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag |
| [01:45.13] |
He waits for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last |
| [01:50.77] |
'neath a cardboard box in the underpass |
| [01:56.61] |
You've got a one-way ticket to the promised land |
| [02:00.95] |
You've got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand |
| [02:07.54] |
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock |
| [02:12.66] |
Bathin' in the city aqueduct |
| [02:16.37] |
|
| [02:18.01] |
The highway is alive tonight |
| [02:23.59] |
But where it's headed everybody knows |
| [02:28.79] |
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light |
| [02:34.16] |
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad |
| [02:37.94] |
|
| [03:01.53] |
"Whenever there's a cop beatin' a guy |
| [03:06.33] |
Whenever a hungry newborn baby cries |
| [03:11.90] |
Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air |
| [03:17.29] |
Just look for me and I'll be there |
| [03:22.50] |
Wherever there's somebody waitin' for a place to stand |
| [03:27.54] |
Or a decent job or a helpin' hand |
| [03:33.45] |
Wherever there's somebody strugglin' to be free |
| [03:39.07] |
Just look in their eyes and you'll see me" |
| [03:43.06] |
|
| [03:44.64] |
The highway is alive tonight |
| [03:49.50] |
Nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes |
| [03:55.31] |
I'm sittin' downhere in the campfire light |
| [04:00.66] |
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad |
| [04:04.86] |
|
| [04:06.29] |
The highway is alive tonight |
| [04:10.81] |
Nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes |
| [04:16.54] |
I'm sittin' downhere in the campfire light |
| [04:22.04] |
With the ghost of old Tom Joad |
| [04:25.45] |
