The Ghost of Tom Joad - Bruce Springsteen

The Ghost of Tom Joad LRC歌词

[00:23.42]Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks

[00:26.47]

[00:28.88]Goin' someplace there's no goin' back

[00:31.86]

[00:33.41]Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge

[00:36.77]

[00:39.37]Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge

[00:42.66]

[00:44.57]Shelter line stretchin' round the corner

[00:47.35]

[00:50.35]Welcome to the new world order

[00:53.12]

[00:55.15]Families sleepin' in their cars in the southwest

[00:58.37]

[01:00.90]No home no job no peace no rest

[01:03.76]

[01:05.79]The highway is alive tonight

[01:08.76]

[01:10.80]But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes

[01:14.66]

[01:16.61]I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light

[01:20.02]

[01:22.42]Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad

[01:25.94]

[01:35.59]He pulls prayer book out of his sleeping bag

[01:38.82]

[01:40.98]Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag

[01:44.40]

[01:45.64]Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last

[01:50.00]

[01:51.93]In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass

[01:55.10]

[01:56.77]Got a one-way ticket to the promised land

[02:00.03]

[02:01.97]You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand

[02:05.94]

[02:07.56]Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock

[02:10.51]

[02:13.20]Bathin' in the city aqueduct

[02:16.39]

[02:18.24]The highway is alive tonight

[02:20.97]

[02:23.87]But where it's headed everybody knows

[02:27.03]

[02:28.69]I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light

[02:31.72]

[02:34.48]Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad

[02:37.45]

[03:47.07]Now Tom said

[03:48.13]

[03:51.36]'Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy

[03:54.40]

[03:56.69]Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries

[04:00.22]

[04:02.08]Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air

[04:05.10]

[04:08.15]Look for me Mom I'll be there

[04:10.92]

[04:12.65]Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand

[04:15.73]

[04:18.44]Or decent job or a helpin' hand

[04:21.68]

[04:23.53]Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free

[04:26.60]

[04:29.39]Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me.'

[04:32.72]

[04:34.20]The highway is alive tonight

[04:37.19]

[04:39.86]But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes

[04:44.14]

[04:44.85]I'm sittin' downhere in the campfire light

[04:48.04]

[04:50.65]With the ghost of old Tom Joad

[04:53.60]

[04:55.41]Well The highway is alive tonight

[04:58.63]

[05:00.37]But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes

[05:04.26]

[05:05.95]I'm sittin' downhere in the campfire light

[05:09.05]

[05:11.83]With the ghost of old Tom Joad

[05:14.75]With the ghost of old Tom Joad

[05:17.47]With the ghost of old Tom Joad

[05:21.08]
