Gather round a corner, half a mile from here
See those long trains runnin and watch them disappear

CHORUS:
Without love, where would you be (right) now
Without love

Know I saw Mrs. Lucy down along the tracks
She lost her home and her family and she won't be comin' back

CHORUS

Got the Illinois Central and the Southern Central Freight
Got to keep on pushin' mama, you know they're runnin' late

CHORUS

{harmonica solo}

Got the Illinois Central and the Southern Central Freight
Got to keep on pushin' mama, you know they're runnin' late

CHORUS

Well pistons keep on turnin and wheels go round and round
And steel rail black cold and hard and the miles as they go down

CHORUS

Mmm..ooh you got to get the baby thing
I want to move it down
I want to move it down
Baby baby baby babe oh won't you move it down
There's a big train running
With the train I'm moving on
I got to keep on moving, keep on moving
I got to keep on moving, I'm going to keep on moving
