Tucson Train

Tucson Train
I got so down-and-out in 'Frisco
Tired of the pills and the rain
I picked up, headed for the sunshine
I left a good thing behind
Seemed all of our love was in vain
Now my baby's coming in on the Tucson train

I come here lookin' for a new life
One I wouldn't have to explain
To that voice that keeps me awake at night
When a little peace would make everything right
If I could just turn off my brain
But now my baby's coming in on the Tucson train
We fought hard over nothin'
We fought till nothin' remained
I've carried that nothin' for a long time
Now I carry my operator's license
And spend my days just runnin' this crane
And my baby's coming in on the Tucson train
Hard work'll clear your mind and body
The hard sun will burn out the pain
If they're lookin' for me, tell 'em, buddy
I'm waitin' down at the station
Just prayin' to the five-fifteen
I'll wait all God's creation
Just to show her a man can change
Now my baby's coming in on the Tucson train
On the Tucson train
On the Tucson train
Waitin' on the five-fifteen
Here she comes
