Gather round a corner, half a mile from here
See those long trains runnin and watch them disappear
CHORUS:
Without love, where would you be (right) 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
Got the Illinois Central and the Southern Central Freight
Got to keep on pushin' mama, you know they're runnin' late
CHORUS
REPEAT THIRD VERSE
CHORUS
Well pistons keep on turnin and wheels go round and round
And steel rail black cold and hard and the miles as they go down
CHORUS
Oh, where would you be now?
