Down around the corner,
half a mile from he-ere
See them long [bad word] 
And you watch them disappear.
Without love where would you be now?
{Without lo-o-o-ove}...

You know, I saw miss Lucy
Down along the tra-acks,
She lost her home and her family
And she won't [bad word] #39; back!
Without love where would you be right now?
{Without lo-o-o-ove}...

Got 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, now, now, no-o-ow?
{Without lo-o-o-ove}...

(Harmonica solo: Tom Johnston)

Got 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 lo-o-o-ove}...

Well the pistons keep on churnin'
And the wheels go roun'an'roun,
And the steel rails are cold and hard
For the miles that they go down.
Without love where would you be right now?
{Without lo-o-ove, ooh-} where would you be-e no-o-ow?

(Guitar outro)

Mmm, got to get it baby, baby!
Won't you move it down? Won't you move it down?
Baby, baby, baby, baby, won't you move it do-own?
With the big [bad word]  with the train a'moving on,
We gotta keep on movin', keep on movin',
Well, keep on movin', well, keep on movin'!
