《The Ghost of Tom Joad》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ghost of Tom Joad (汤姆周的灵魂) - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)

[00:00:04] Men walking 'long the railroad tracks

[00:00:16] Going someplace and there's no going back

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

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

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

[00:00:37] Welcome to the new world order

[00:00:43] Families sleeping in their cars in the southwest

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

[00:00:54] Well the highway is alive tonight

[00:00:59] But nobody's kidding nobody about where it goes

[00:01:05] I'm sitting down here in the campfire light

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

[00:01:15] He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag

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

[00:01:24] Waiting 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

[00:01:45] Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock

[00:01:50] Bathing in the city aqueduct

[00:01:55] And the highway is alive tonight

[00:02:01] Where it's headed everybody knows

[00:02:06] I'm sitting down here in the campfire light

[00:02:11] Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad

[00:02:16] Tom said, "Mom, wherever there's a cop beating a guy

[00:02:36] Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries

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

[00:02:46] Look for me, Mom, I'll be there

[00:02:53] Where there's somebody fighting for a place to stand

[00:02:57] Or a decent job or a helping hand

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

[00:03:08] Look in their eyes, Mom, you'll see me"

[00:03:13] The highway is alive tonight

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

[00:03:21] I'm sitting down here in the campfire light

[00:03:28] With the ghost of old Tom Joad
