[Bm]
[A] [Bm]
Men walking along the railroad tracks [D] Going some place and [A] there's no going back
Highway patrol choppers coming up over reeds [Bm] Hot soup on a [D] campfire down in [Bm] the bridge
Shelter lines stretching round the corner [D] Welcome to the new [A] wild horse
Family sleeping in the car in the southwest No [Bm] home, no [D] job, no [Bm] peace, no rest
[A] But [G] the highway is alive tonight [D] Nobody's kidding nobody about where [Bm] they've gone
[A] Sitting down here in the campfire line [Bm] Searching [D] for the [Bm] ghost of Tom Job
Pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag [D] Preacher lights up a button [A] and pizza drag
Waiting for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In [Bm] a cotton-wool [F#m] box sneaking in the [Bm] pass Got a one-way ticket to the promise land
[D] You got a hole in your belly and a [A] gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock Breathing [Bm] in the [F#m] city [Bm] air at quiet hour
[G] The highway is alive tonight [D] Where it's headed [Bm] everybody knows
[A] Sitting down here in the campfire line [Bm] Waiting on [F#m] the ghost [Bm] of Tom Job

[A] [Bm] [A] [Bm]
Mama, if there's a cop beating a guy
If [D] you're hungry and poor and [A] baby you cry
If there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
[Bm] Look for me [F#m] mama, [Bm] I'll be there
If there's somebody fighting for a place to stay
A [D] decent job or a helping [A] hand
If there's somebody struggling to be free
Look [Bm] in the eyes of [F#m] mine and you'll [Bm] see me
The [A] [G] highway is alive tonight
[D] Nobody's kidding nobody [Bm] about where it goes
