Down around the corner

Half a mile from here

See those long trains runnin

And watch them disappear

 

Chorus

Without love, where would you be now

Without love

 

Know I saw Mrs. Lucy

Down along the tracks

She lost her home and her family

And she won't be comin' back

 

Chorus

 

The Illinois Central

Southern Central Freight

Got to keep on pushin' with all your might

Cause you know they're runnin' late

 

Chorus

 

Well pistons keep on turnin

And wheels go round and round

Steel rails are cold and hard

And the miles they go around

 

Chorus

 

Repeat verse

 

Oh, where would you be now?
