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

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

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

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.
