[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
