Men walkin� �long the railroad tracks
Goin� some place, 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 sieepin� 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 sitting down here in the campfire light
Searchin� for the ghost of tom joad

He pulls prayer book out of his sleepin� 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 a gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathing in the city aqueduct

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

Now tom said, "mom, wherever there�s a cop beatin� a guy
Wherever a hungry new born 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 piace 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."

The highway is alive tonight
But nobody�s kiddin� nobody about where it goes
I�m sitting down here in the campfire light
Searchin� for the ghost of tom joad
