Lyrics

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

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

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

Without love
Where would you be now
