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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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