About Ghost

"The Ghost of Tom Joad" is a folk rock song written by Bruce Springsteen. It is the title track to his eleventh studio album, released in 1995. The character Tom Joad, from John Steinbeck's classic 1939 novel The Grapes of Wrath, is mentioned in the title and narrative. Originally a quiet folk song, "The Ghost of Tom Joad" has also been recorded by Rage Against the Machine and Junip. Springsteen himself has performed the song in a variety of arrangements, including with the E Street Band, and a live recording featuring Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello as guest. In 2013, Springsteen re-recorded the track with Morello for his eighteenth studio album, High Hopes (2014).

everybody has a ghost 
everybody has a ghost who sings like you do 
your's is not like mine 
it's alright  but keep it up 
boy loses rib in new orleans 
he can't help eyein' up the whores 
under the bridge 
boy loses rib and lets a hellified cry into the dark 
where did I go wrong? 
Where did I go wrong? 
I never needed this before 
I need a woman to help me feel 
Everybody has a dream 
everybody has the dream like a world tattoo 
yours is not like mine, it's alright, keep it up 
the scalpel dives into the skin 
good doctors never leave a scar 
no proof again 
I'll take the myth, you take the blood 
it's all the same to the world dreamer 
it's all the same in the end 
boy loses rib in new orleans 
he trades some ether for a chance 
under the bridge 
boy loses rib as he's summoned to the mud 
flat on his back 
cryin' where did I go wrong?
