| [00:12.642] |
Men walkin' along the railroad tracks |
| [00:18.345] |
Goin' someplace and there's no going back |
| [00:22.508] |
Highway patrol, choppers coming up over the ridge |
| [00:28.500] |
Hot soup on a campfire, under the bridge |
| [00:33.472] |
Shelter line stretching, around the corner |
| [00:39.120] |
Welcome to the New World Order |
| [00:43.606] |
Families sleeping in the cars in the Southwest |
| [00:49.241] |
No home, no job, no peace, no rest |
| [00:54.074] |
Well, the highway is alive tonight |
| [00:58.951] |
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes |
| [01:04.496] |
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light |
| [01:10.231] |
Searching for the ghost of Tom Joad |
| [01:14.507] |
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag |
| [01:19.841] |
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag |
| [01:24.199] |
Waiting for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last |
| [01:30.353] |
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass |
| [01:35.117] |
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land |
| [01:40.371] |
You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand |
| [01:45.470] |
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock |
| [01:50.996] |
Bathing in the city aqueduct |
| [01:55.442] |
The highway is alive tonight |
| [02:01.202] |
Where it's headed, everybody knows |
| [02:05.862] |
Sitting down here in the campfire light |
| [02:11.415] |
Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad |
| [02:30.197] |
Tom said |
| [02:31.881] |
"Mama, whenever there's a cop beating a guy |
| [02:37.506] |
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries |
| [02:42.653] |
There's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air |
| [02:48.385] |
Look for me, mom, I'll be there |
| [02:52.841] |
There's somebody fighting for a place to stand |
| [02:58.403] |
A decent job or a helping hand |
| [03:02.883] |
Where there's somebody struggling to be free |
| [03:08.659] |
Look in their eyes, mom, you'll see me" |
| [03:13.289] |
The highway is alive tonight |
| [03:17.976] |
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes |
| [03:23.631] |
Sitting down here in the campfire light |
| [03:28.945] |
With the ghost of ol' Tom Joad |
