the ghost of tom joad (2013) - martyn joseph lyrics
[verse 1]
man walking along the railroad tracks
going someplace and there’s no going back
highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge
hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
[verse 2]
the shelter line stretching around the corner
welcome to the new world order
families sleeping in the cars in the southwest
with no home, no job, no peace, no rest
[chorus]
the highway is alive tonight
n0body’s kidding n0body about where it goes
i’m sitting down here in the campfire light
sеarching for the ghost of tom joad
[verse 3]
he pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
thе preacher lights up a b*tt and he takes a drag
waiting for the last shall be first and the first shall be last
in the cardboard box ‘neath the underpass
[verse 4]
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 aqueduct
[chorus]
the highway is alive tonight
and where it’s headed, everybody knows
i’m sitting down here in the campfire light
waiting on the ghost of tom joad
[harmonica solo]
[verse 5]
and tom says, “ma, wherever there’s a cop beating a guy
where a hungry newborn baby cries
where there’s fight against the blood of hatred in the air
well, just look for me, ma, and i’ll be there
[verse 6]
“where there’s somebody’s fighting for a place to stand
or a decent job or a helping hand
if there’s somebody struggling to be free
well, just look in their eyes, ma, you’ll see me”
[chorus]
and the highway is alive tonight
n0body’s kidding n0body about where it goes
i’m sitting down here in the campfire light
with the ghost of old tom joad
