Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Down around the corner

Half a mile from here

You see them long trains runnin'

And you watch 'em disappear

Without love

Where would you be now?

Without love

[Verse 2]

You know I saw Miss Lucy

Down along the tracks

She lost her home and her family

And she won't be coming back

Without love

Where would you be right now?

Without love

[Verse 3]

Well, the Illinois Central

And the Southern Central Freight

Got to keep on pushin', mama

'Cause you know they're runnin' late

Without love

Where would you be now, na-na-now?

Without love

[Verse 4]

Well, the Illinois Central

And the Southern Central Freight

Got to keep on pushin', mama

You know they're runnin' late

Without love

Where would you be now?

Without love

[Verse 5]

Well, pistons keep on churnin'

And the wheels go round and round

And the steel rails lie cold and hard

In the miles that they go down

Without love

Where would you be right now?

Without love

Ooh, where would you be now?

[Bridge]

Mmm, got to get you, baby

Baby, won't you move it down?

Won't you move it down?

Baby, baby, baby, baby

Won't you move it down?

[Outro]

When the big train run

When the train a-movin' on

I got to keep on movin'

Keep on movin'

Won't you keep on movin'?

Won't you keep on movin'?
