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
too
And I kept em all inside of me, until I knew just what to do
I got to change my name to Guthrie and the writing's on the wall
Change my name
Thirty-two miles to Guthrie, thirty-two miles to go
Thirty-two miles to Guthrie baby, gonna hit that river 'till we rock the boat
Thirty-two miles
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
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
With an uneasy feeling in my chest
I'm wonderin' what it means
So come back Woody Guthrie
Come back to us now

And rise

Once I spoke of a love for those who

Comme un air de Guthrie
C'est un air connu, l'écho de nos peines
Tout comme un train qui siffle au loin
C'est un air connu que le temps ramène
and Merle too
Remember back in ‘69
All we ever knew
So let’s go down to Guthrie’s
And drink with cats we know
It’s Christmas time in Bakersfield
With tumble
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
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
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

Wasn't he reaching for the promise of America?
I heard Pat Tillman died
in the hills of Afghanistan
He came for justice
not for greed, not
