๐ Lyrics
I've got a close friend of mine here with me tonight, gonna come up and do a song
Mr. Tommy Morello from "Rage Against The Machine"
Come on, Tommy
Tommy also makes great acoustic records with the name of "The Nightwatchman"
Let's try it
Men walking 'long the railroad tracks
Going someplace, there's no going back
Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretching around the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleeping in the cars in the southwest
No home, no job, no peace, no rest
Well, the highway is alive at night
But nobody's kidding nobody about where it goes
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Searching for the ghost of Tom
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
Waiting for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
You got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathing in the city's aqueduct
The highway is alive tonight
Where it's headed everybody knows
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad
Now Tom said
"Mom, wherever there's a cop beating a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me, Mom, I'll be there
Wherever somebody's fighting for a place to stand
For a decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody's struggling to be free
Look in their eyes, Ma, you'll see me"
Well, the highway is alive tonight
But nobody's fooling nobody about where it goes
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
Well, the highway is alive tonight
Nobody's fooling nobody about where it goes
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
