The Ghost of Tom Joad歌词

[00:23.42]Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks
[00:26.47]
[00:28.88]Goin' someplace there's no goin' back
[00:31.86]
[00:33.41]Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
[00:36.77]
[00:39.37]Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
[00:42.66]
[00:44.57]Shelter line stretchin' round the corner
[00:47.35]
[00:50.35]Welcome to the new world order
[00:53.12]
[00:55.15]Families sleepin' in their cars in the southwest
[00:58.37]
[01:00.90]No home no job no peace no rest
[01:03.76]
[01:05.79]The highway is alive tonight
[01:08.76]
[01:10.80]But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
[01:14.66]
[01:16.61]I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
[01:20.02]
[01:22.42]Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad
[01:25.94]
[01:35.59]He pulls prayer book out of his sleeping bag
[01:38.82]
[01:40.98]Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
[01:44.40]
[01:45.64]Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
[01:50.00]
[01:51.93]In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
[01:55.10]
[01:56.77]Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
[02:00.03]
[02:01.97]You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand
[02:05.94]
[02:07.56]Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
[02:10.51]
[02:13.20]Bathin' in the city aqueduct
[02:16.39]
[02:18.24]The highway is alive tonight
[02:20.97]
[02:23.87]But where it's headed everybody knows
[02:27.03]
[02:28.69]I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
[02:31.72]
[02:34.48]Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad
[02:37.45]
[03:47.07]Now Tom said
[03:48.13]
[03:51.36]'Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
[03:54.40]
[03:56.69]Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
[04:00.22]
[04:02.08]Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air
[04:05.10]
[04:08.15]Look for me Mom I'll be there
[04:10.92]
[04:12.65]Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
[04:15.73]
[04:18.44]Or decent job or a helpin' hand
[04:21.68]
[04:23.53]Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
[04:26.60]
[04:29.39]Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me.'
[04:32.72]
[04:34.20]The highway is alive tonight
[04:37.19]
[04:39.86]But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
[04:44.14]
[04:44.85]I'm sittin' downhere in the campfire light
[04:48.04]
[04:50.65]With the ghost of old Tom Joad
[04:53.60]
