《The Ghost of Tom Joad》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ghost of Tom Joad (汤姆周的灵魂) - Acoustic Guitar Songs/Acoustic Hits/Afternoon Acoustic

[00:00:13] Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks

[00:00:18] Goin' someplace there's no goin' back

[00:00:22] Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge

[00:00:28] Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge

[00:00:33] Shelter line stretchin' 'round the corner

[00:00:38] Welcome to the new world order

[00:00:43] Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest

[00:00:48] No home no job no peace no rest

[00:00:53] The highway is alive tonight

[00:00:58] But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes

[00:01:04] I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light

[00:01:09] Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad

[00:01:13] He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag

[00:01:19] Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag

[00:01:23] Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last

[00:01:29] In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass

[00:01:34] Got a one way ticket to the promised land

[00:01:39] You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand

[00:01:44] Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock

[00:01:50] Bathin' in the city aqueduct

[00:01:55] The highway is alive tonight

[00:02:00] Where it's headed everybody knows

[00:02:05] I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light

[00:02:10] Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad

[00:02:29] Now Tom said Mom wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy

[00:02:37] Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries

[00:02:42] Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air

[00:02:48] Look for me Mom I'll be there

[00:02:52] Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand

[00:02:58] Or decent job or a helpin' hand

[00:03:03] Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free

[00:03:09] Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me

[00:03:13] Well the highway is alive tonight

[00:03:18] But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes

[00:03:23] I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light

[00:03:29] With the ghost of old Tom Joad
