Down around the corner A half a mile from here You see them old trains runnin' And you watch them disappear Without love Where would you be now? Without love You know I saw Miss Lucy Down along the tracks She lost her home and her family And she won't be comin' back Without love Where would you be right now? Without love Well the Illinois Central And the Southern Central Freight Gotta keep on pushin', mama 'Cause you know they're runnin' late Without love Where would you be now, now, now, now? Without love Well the Illinois Central And the Southern Central Freight Gotta keep on pushin' Mama 'Cause you know they're runnin' late Without love Where would you be now? Without love Where pistons keep on churnin' And the wheels go 'round and 'round And the steel rails are cold and hard For the miles that they go down Without love Where would you be right now? Without love Ooh, where would you be now? Mmm, got to get you, baby, baby, won't you move it down? Won't you move it down? Baby, baby, baby, baby, won't you move it down? Without love Without love Won't you keep on movin' on? When the big train run When the train is movin' on We got to keep on movin'
