From:
Down around the corner
Half a mile from here
You see them old trains runnin'
And you watch them disappear
Refrain:
Without love
Where would you be now?
Without love
You know I saw miss Lucy
Down along the track;
She lost her home and her family
And she won't be comin' back
(Refrain)
Well, the Illinois Central
And the southern Central Freight
Gotta keep on pushin', Mama,
'Cause you know they're runnin' late
(Refrain)
[Harmonica solo]
Well, the Illinois Central
And the southern Central Freight
Gotta keep on pushin', Mama,
'Cause you know they're runnin' late
(Refrain)
Where pistons keep on churnin'
And the wheels go 'round and 'round
And the steel rails are cold and hard
As the miles that they go down
(Refrain)
Where would you be now?
