The Ghost Of Tom Joad - Bruce Springsteen
Men walkin’ ’long the railroad tracks
Goin’ someplace there’s no goin’ back
Highway patrol choppers
comin’ up over the ridge
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretchin’ ’round the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleepin’
in their cars in the Southwest
No home no job no peace no rest
The highway is alive tonight
But nobody’s kiddin’ nobody
about where it goes
I’m sittin’ down here in the campfire light
Searchin’ for the ghost of Tom Joad
He pulls a prayer book out
of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
Waitin’ for when the last shall be first
and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box ’neath the underpass
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly
and gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathin’ in the city aqueduct
The highway is alive tonight
Where it’s headed everybody knows
I’m sittin’ down here in the campfire light
Waitin’ on the ghost of Tom Joad
Now Tom said "Mom,
wherever there’s a cop beatin’ a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there’s a fight ’gainst
the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me Mom I’ll be there
Wherever there’s somebody
fightin’ for a place to stand
Or decent job or a helpin’ hand
Wherever somebody’s strugglin’ to be free
Look in their eyes Mom
you’ll see me."
Well the highway is alive tonight
But nobody’s kiddin’
nobody about where it goes
I’m sittin’ down here in the campfire light
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
