| [00:13.47] |
Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks |
| [00:18.94] |
Goin' someplace there's no goin' back |
| [00:22.12] |
|
| [00:23.12] |
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge |
| [00:26.56] |
|
| [00:29.37] |
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge |
| [00:31.87] |
|
| [00:34.12] |
Shelter line stretchin' 'round the corner |
| [00:36.93] |
|
| [00:39.68] |
Welcome to the new world order |
| [00:42.49] |
|
| [00:44.68] |
Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest |
| [00:47.68] |
|
| [00:49.93] |
No home no job no peace no rest |
| [00:52.87] |
|
| [00:54.93] |
The highway is alive tonight |
| [00:57.49] |
|
| [00:59.68] |
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes |
| [01:02.87] |
|
| [01:05.24] |
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light |
| [01:08.24] |
|
| [01:10.74] |
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad |
| [01:14.18] |
|
| [01:15.37] |
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag |
| [01:18.24] |
|
| [01:20.43] |
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag |
| [01:23.62] |
|
| [01:24.81] |
Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last |
| [01:28.86] |
|
| [01:31.18] |
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass |
| [01:33.87] |
|
| [01:35.87] |
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land |
| [01:38.30] |
|
| [01:41.12] |
You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand |
| [01:43.62] |
|
| [01:46.06] |
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock |
| [01:48.87] |
|
| [01:51.56] |
Bathin' in the city aqueduct |
| [01:53.86] |
|
| [01:56.18] |
The highway is alive tonight |
| [01:58.81] |
|
| [02:01.74] |
Where it's headed everybody knows |
| [02:04.62] |
|
| [02:06.49] |
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light |
| [02:09.81] |
|
| [02:11.93] |
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad |
| [02:14.43] |
|
| [02:30.81] |
Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy |
| [02:35.87] |
|
| [02:38.06] |
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries |
| [02:41.49] |
|
| [02:43.31] |
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air |
| [02:47.06] |
|
| [02:48.87] |
Look for me Mom I'll be there |
| [02:51.62] |
|
| [02:53.24] |
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand |
| [02:56.56] |
|
| [02:59.18] |
Or decent job or a helpin' hand |
| [03:02.12] |
|
| [03:03.74] |
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free |
| [03:06.37] |
|
| [03:09.18] |
Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me." |
| [03:11.81] |
|
| [03:13.75] |
Well the highway is alive tonight |
| [03:16.43] |
|
| [03:18.62] |
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes |
| [03:21.68] |
|
| [03:24.00] |
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light |
| [03:27.62] |
|
| [03:29.43] |
With the ghost of old Tom Joad |
