"Tucson Train" is a 2019 song byBruce Springsteen, released as a single from the albumWestern Stars. It is the third track on the album.
The song was released as a single, with an official black & white video that shows him playing with a large band, on May 30, 2019. "Tucson Train" has been described as a "rootsy tune" that combines Springsteen's guitar playing with a horn section and a string section. It tells the story of a construction worker, who left San Francisco for a new life in Arizona, having a volatile relationship with his lover, whom he left behind in California. After the story with the woman fell apart, they found they missed each other; now, "tired of the pills and the rain", he rejoices that "baby's coming in on the Tucson train". As many Springsteen songs, it features the element of the train.[2][3][4]
