The track, itself, tells the story of a western film actor who once "was shot by John Wayne" and how "that one scene's bought me a thousand drinks."

Western Stars is now available on multiple streaming platforms here. Exclusive merch bundles and vinyl pressings can be found at BruceSpringsteenStore.com.
