Woody, I never knew you
But you're in my guitar when I play
Out there on the road
Out where you made your home
Your spirit travels everyday

This machine heals wounds
This machine ends wars
This machine is the voice
That demands to be heard
Songs of rage, songs of work
Songs that help sing out the hurt
Woody, you're singing in the wires

Woody, I never knew you
Though yo sang to me as a child
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Things are looking up
Grab your guitar and ride

This machine ends wars
This machine is the voice
That demands to be heard
Songs of rage, songs of work
Songs that help sing out the hurt
Woody, you're singing in the wires

You built the roads I travel
And paved them with your songs
Every face a story
Every train a home

This machine heals wounds
This machine ends wars
This machine is the voice
That demands to be heard
Songs of rage, songs of work
Songs that help sing out the hurt
Woody, you're singing in the wires
