  • Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks
    Goin' someplace 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 sleepin' 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 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 underpass

    Got a one-way ticket to the promised land

    You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand

    Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock

    Bathin' in the city aqueduct

    The highway is alive tonight

    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 newborn 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 place 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."

    Well 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
