Down around the corner
half a mile from here
You see them old [bad word] #39;
And you watch them disappear
Without love
Where would you be now?
Without love 
You know I saw Miss Lucy
Down along the tracks
She lost her home and her family
And she won't [bad word] #39; back
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 [bad word] #39; late
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 [bad word] #39; 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 you be right now?
Without love
Where would you be now?

Mmmmm. Got to get to, baby.
We gotta to move it down.
We gotta to move it down.
We gotta to move it down.
We gotta to move it down...
