letra de the ghost of tom joad - martyn joseph
[verse 1]
man walking down the railroad track
he’s going someplace and there’s no going back
highway patrol chopper coming up over the ridge
hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
[verse 2]
shelter line stretching around the corner
welcome to the new world order
families sleeping in the cars in the southwest
but no home, no job, no peace, no rest
[chorus]
the highway is alive tonight
where it’s headed, everybody knows
sitting down here in the campfire light
waiting on the ghost of old tom joad
[verse 3]
takes a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
the 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
and bathing in the city aqueduct
[chorus]
the highway is alive tonight
where it’s headed, everybody knows
sitting down here in the campfire light
waiting on the ghost of old tom joad
[harmonica solo]
[verse 5]
tom says, “mom, wherever there’s a cop beating a guy
where a hungry newborn baby cries
fight against the blood, hatred in the air
well, just look for me, ma, and i’ll be there
[verse 6]
“if 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
just look in their eyes, ma, and you’ll see me”
[chorus]
the highway is alive tonight
but where it’s headed, everybody knows
sitting down here in the campfire light
with the ghost of old tom joad
