So I sold my soul for wheels that roll
And rise again somehow
If you run into Jesus
Tear your eyes from paradise
Now I'm stumblin' through the haze
Now I'm stuck here in this town
Their proud red banners torn
I'm wonderin' what it means
Maybe he can help you out
Tear your eyes from paradise
As the bells of freedom ring
And tear your eyes from paradise
But there's killers on the highway now
The unions have been busted
And Martin Luther King
To listen to the radio
Come back to us now
If you run into Jesus
Come back to us now
They said, "He cannot seek another term
The Republicans drink whiskey neat
And rise again somehow
We're marching into Selma
Now, come back to us now
To us now
And thanked their lucky stars
Cows out in the corn
To us now
Maybe he can help you out
Come back Woody Guthrie
I followed in your footsteps once
Just staring at the screen
If you run into Jesus
Come back Woody Guthrie
With an uneasy feeling in my chest
But you and me and Cisco know
Back in my travelin' days
Come back to us, Malcolm X
It's going straight to hell
Maybe he can help you out
And a man can't get around
Things not gettin' worse
Rise up, old Joe Hill
And rise again somehow
Somewhere I failed to find your trail
And I sat home in Tennessee
Come back Woody Guthrie
There's foxes in the hen house
You'd think that all was well
They'll be no more FDR's"
So come back Woody Guthrie
Gettin' into gear for four more years
So come back Woody Guthrie
So come back, Emma Goldman
They cannot break our will
Now come back Woody Guthrie
The barricades are goin' up
