Where’s Woody Guthrie

[Verse 1]
Where’s Woody Guthrie when we need him to shoot his guitar gun
Wage war on injustice and spread courage with his tongue
He fought for the man on the bottom and he sang for the voiceless ones
Where’s Woody Guthrie when we need him to shoot his guitar... gun
And where’s Johnny Cash when we need him to be the man in black
Take the gospel into places where hope it turn it’s back
Prodigals and prisoners, they couldn’t relate to a man like that
Where’s Johnny Cash when we need him to be the man... in black

[Chorus]
These days I’ve been starvin’ for that kind of honesty
Some guitar playing poet who speaks to the best in me
Yeah That I might fight for what is right when I’d rather turn and run
Where’s Woody Guthrie when we need him to shoot his guitar... gun

[Verse 2]
And where’s John Lennon when we need him to sing us song of peace
And ask us to imagine that love’s all we need [love is all we need]
He spoke truth to power til’ they shot him on the New York street
Where’s John Lennon when we need him to sing us song... of peace

[Chorus]
'Cause these days I’ve been starvin’ for that kind of honesty
Some guitar playing poet who speaks to the best in me
Yeah that I might fight for what is right when I’d rather turn and run
Where’s Woody Guthrie when we need him to shoot his guitar...

[Outro:]
Yeah, Where’s Johnny Cash, Waylon, and Hank
Was another one of them gon’ come?
Where’s Woody Guthrie when we need him to shoot his guitar.. gun
Shoot his guitar gun

[Instrumental]
