Without love

Without love

Without love

Where the pistons keep on charmin'
and the wheels go round' and round'
And the steel rails are cold and hard
for the miles they go around

And this part is as usual:

Without love
where would you be right now

And here stop playing at all:

Without love
     where would you be now?

__________

Outro: (2:46) Play same as intro. 
	At (3:14) he does something i can't quite figure out, 
	but don't play it and no one will notice anyway.

Got to get it baby wont you move it down?
Won't you move it down?
Baby baby baby baby wont you move it down?
When the big train run
and the train is movin' on
I got to keep on movin'
Keep on movin'
Keep on movin'
Gonna keep on movin'
