Lyrics:
THE WOODY GUTHRIE HIGHWAY
Lyrics: Knut Roppestad
I am rolling down the Woody Guthrie Highway
Trying to find or unload my load
I am rolling down
destroyed by greed
Hey Woody Guthrie I ain't got no home
Hey Woody Guthrie I ain't got no home
Somehow I missed that gravy train when it went rolling by
I
of the steeple
Woody Guthrie saw his people
Telling it straight to ol' Mr. Knickerbocker
Woody Guthrie was the first punk rocker
Born in Okemah, Oklahoma
Woody
With an uneasy feeling in my chest
I'm wonderin' what it means
So come back Woody Guthrie
Come back to us now
Tear your eyes from paradise
And rise
There's this book coming out and they asked me to write, uh
Something about Woody
Uh, sort of like, what does Woody Guthrie mean to you?
In
From coast to coast
From sea to shining sea
Woody Guthrie's fucking wrong
This land's not made for you and me
We're chanting build that wall
As we
and peasants and princes and kings
Hey, hey Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song
'Bout a funny ol' world that's a-comin' along
Seems sick and it's hungry, it's
at the screen
With an uneasy feeling in my chest
And I'm wonderin' what it means
[Chorus]
So come back Woody Guthrie
Come back to us now
Tear your eyes
Martin Luther King's speeches (Lenny Bruce, Woody Guthrie)
Wasn't he reaching for the promise of America?
My wife, she's writing
the war's on CNN
"It
This Land Is Your Land
Performer：The Weavers
Composer ：Woody Guthrie
Lyricist ：Woody Guthrie
This land is your land
This land is my land
From
neck hangin’ on the words Woody Guthrie said?
Most legacy’s just vanity, it’s all in your head
When all is said and done
It’s every victory and none
It’s
Listening to a Woody Guthrie song
Doing my best to get along
Trying to figure out which side I'm on
Listening to a Woody Guthrie song
I think I'm
and peasants and princes and kings.
Hey, hey Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song
'Bout a funny ol' world that's a-comin' along.
Seems sick an' it's hungry,
at the screen
With an uneasy feeling in my chest
And I'm wonderin' what it means
[Chorus]
So come back Woody Guthrie
Come back to us now
Tear your
at the screen
With an uneasy feeling in my chest
And I'm wonderin' what it means
[Chorus]
So come back Woody Guthrie
Come back to us now
Tear your
the Red out of the land in Oklahoma
Well back in the day the W.P.A. in Oklahoma
Woody Guthrie would sing about the crops and no rain in Oklahoma
Well
a beat up chair a mattress a fork and another to spare
And that dusty old pile of records on my floor
I got Willie, Waylon and Woody Guthrie
Jimmy
at the Gaslight
Just trying to get by in the city
I'm a folksinger
Singing all my stories
Just like ol' Woody Guthrie
I'm a ramblin' man
I'm a folksinger
Got next
the red out of the land in Oklahoma
Well back in the day the WPA in Oklahoma
Woody Guthrie would sing about the crops and no rain in Oklahoma
Well the rain
Give me some Howard Zinn
And Woody Guthrie
Won't you please shut off
that 24 hour TV
It's not truth
It's only editorial
It's not news
It's something
More pretty girls than one, more pretty girls than one
Every town I wander 'round
More pretty girls than one
Just like old Woody Guthrie sung
make u clean
Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother
Woody Guthrie's land can't feed Mother
Mothers weep, children sleep
So much violence ends in
and peasants and princes and kings
Hey, hey Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song
'Bout a funny ol' world that's a-comin' along
Seems sick and it's hungry, it's
boots
And my old straw hat in hand
Singing a song by Woody Guthrie
This land is your land, it ain?t my land
I?m a workin? man
With nowhere to go
