Men walkin long the railroad tracks
Goin someplace there s no goin back
Highway patrol choppers comin up over the bridge
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
Refrain:
(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 under- -pass
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand
Sleepin on a pillow of solid rock
Bathin in the city aque- -duct
Refrain:
(But the) highway is alive tonight
(But) where it s headed everybody knows
I m sittin down here in the campfire light
Waitin on the ghost of Tom Joad
Refrain (solo without singing):
, , ,
Asus/G Asus (silent part, try to listen, how its played)
wherever there s a cop beatin 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 there s somebody fightin for a place to stand
Or a decent job or a helpin hand
Wherever somebody s strugglin to be free
Look in their eyes mom you ll see me.
Refrain:
(But 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
