Track #10 from Springsteen’s 1995 album The Ghost of Tom Joad.
In the acoustic follow-up to Springsteen’s fan favourite Nebraska (1982), a greater focus is established on immigrants coming to America. ‘Across the Border’ is the classic Springsteen mantra of a couple embarking on a bold and risky journey of leaving behind what they know for the unknown told from the perspective of Mexican tramps.
