Down around the corner,     half a mile from here,    you see them old trains runnin' 
               Em7
And you watch them disappear.

You know I saw miss Lucy     down along the track; 
        Em7                              Bm7              Em7
She lost her home and her family     and she won't be comin' back.

Without love,                where would you be right now,

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 ya be right now, without love? 
 
Where would you be now?
