J'adore "le Boss", et cette balade est certainement l'une de ces plus jolies...

Man walkin long the railroad tracks - Goin some place there's no going back - Highway patrol choppers cornin up over the ridge -Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge - Shelter line stretchin round the corner - Welcome to the new wolrd oder - Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest - No home no job no peace no rest - the highway is alive tonight - but nobody's kiddin nobody about where it goes - i'm sittin down here in the campfire light- searchin' for the ghost of tom joad - he pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag - Preacher lights up a butt and talks a drag - Waitin' for when - the last shall be first and the first shall be last - In a cardboard book neath the underpass - Got a one-way ticket to the promised land - You got hole in your belly and a gun in your hand - Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock - Bathin in the city aquaeduct - The highway is alive tonight - Where it's headed everybody knows - I'm sittin down here in the campfire light - Searchin for the ghost of Tom Joad - Now Tom said Mom wherever there's cop beatin a guy - Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries - Where there's a fight gainst blood and hatred in the air - Look for me Mom I'll be there - Wherever there's somebady fightin for a place to stand - Or decent job or helping hand - Wherever somebody's strugglin to be free - Look in their eyes, mom you'll see me - Well the highway is alive tonight -But nobody's kiddin nobody about where it goes - I'm sittin down here in the campfire light - Searchin for the ghost of Tom Joad
