Long Train Runnin'

Am7
Down around the corner a half a mile from here

You see them old trains runnin' and you watch them disappear
        Dm7  Dm6                    Am7
Without love...  where would you be now?
         F   Am  E7  Am7
Without love

You know I saw Miss Lucy down along the tracks
She lost her home and her family and she won't be comin' back
Without love... where would you be now?
Without love

Well the Illinois Central and the Southern Central Freight
Gotta keep pushin' mama, 'cause you know they're runnin' late
Without love... where would you be now?
Without love

Well the 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 now?
         F   Am  E7  Dm7
Without love...      where would you be now?
Am7
