Tom Joad

walked back through the wash today
was too day to take me away
saw those clouds you made
saw the treetops and felt the shade
and in the wash today
shopping carts were carried away
by the sand and wind

and if I knew now what I knew then
I would tell you anything you want
is all right here
in this place
in my mind

saw the clouds today
too soft to take me away
thought of the time I spent
hundred years alone
thought you'd gone somewhere
distant people in a chair
what does it matter now
nothing stands between us anyhow

if you'd only ask me anything you want
is all right here
in this place
in my mind

walked back into town today
faces were new since I'd been away
dirt tracks on a dusty road
mules and tom joad

Will I still tell you anything you want
is all right here
in this place
in my mind

all right here
all right here
