Man walking down the railroad track

Shelter lines stretching

Family sleeping in the cars
in the south -west

The highway is alive tonight

Where it's headed everybody knows

He's waitin' for the last shall be first
and the first shall be last

In the cardboard box
beneath the underpass
You got a one -way ticket

wherever there's a cop

A fight against the blood hatred in the air

If there's somebody fighting
for a place to stand

Or a decent job or a helping hand
If there's someone struggling to be free

Just look in their eyes,
Ma, and you'll see

The highway is alive tonight
