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
