Long Train Runnin’ Lyrics By The Doobie Brothers

    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

    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

    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 nownananow
    without love

    harmonica

    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
    without love

    5
    well pistons keep on churnin’
    and the wheels go ’round and ’round
    and the steel rails lie cold and hard
    on the mountains they go down

    without love
    where would you be right now
    without love
    ooh where would you be now

    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
    when the big train run
    when the train is movin’ on
    i got to keep on movin’
    keep on movin’
    won’t you keep on movin’
    gonna keep on movin’
