Man walks along the railroad trackHe's goin' some place, there's no turnin' back The Highway Patrol chopper comin' up over the ridgeMan sleeps by a campfire under the bridgeThe shelter line stretchin' around the cornerWelcome to the New World OrderFamilies sleepin' in their cars out in the SouthwestNo job, no home, no peace, no rest, no restAnd the highway is alive tonightNobody's foolin' nobody is to where it goesI'm sitting down here in the campfire lightSearchin' for the ghost of Tom JoadHe pulls his prayer book out of a sleepin' bagThe preacher lights up a butt and takes a dragHe's waitin' for the time when the last shall be first and the first shall be lastIn a cardboard box 'neath the underpassWith a one way ticket to the promised landWith a hole in your belly and a gun in your handLookin' for a pillow of solid rockBathin' in the cities' aqueductsAnd the highway is alive tonightNobody's foolin' nobody is to where it goes I'm sittin' down here in the campfire lightWith the ghost of old Tom JoadSoloNow Tom Said; Ma, whenever ya see a cop beatin' a guyWherever a hungry new born baby criesWherever there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the airLook for me ma I'll be thereWherever somebody's srtugglin' for a place to standFor a decent job or a helpin' handWherever somebody is strugglin' to be freeLook in their eyes ma, You'll see meAnd the highway is alive tonightNobody's foolin' nobody is to where it goesI'm sittin' down here in the campfire lightWith the ghost of Tom Joad All TV promos, news clips, airchecks, music related performances etc. are the sole property of their respective copyright holders.
