Down around the corner A half a mile from here You see them old trains runnin' And you watch them 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 comin' back Without love Where would you be now Without love Well the Illinois Central And the Southern Central Freight Gotta keep on pushin' Mama 'Cause you know they're runnin' late Without love Where would you be now - now, now, now Without love Where 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 right now Without love Where would you be now |

You don't know me but I'm your brother I was raised here in this living hell You don't know my kind in your world Fairly soon the time will tell You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see Takin' it to the streets Takin' it to the streets Takin' it to the streets Takin' it to the streets Take this message to my brother You will find him everywhere Wherever people live together Tied in poverty's despair You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see Takin' it to the streets Takin' it to the streets Takin' it to the streets Takin' it to the streets |

Up all night I could not sleep The whiskey that I drank was cheap With shakin' hands I went and I lit up my last cigarette Well the sun came, night had fled And sleepy eyed I reached my bed I saw you sleepy dreamin' there all covered and warm South City midnight lady I'm much obliged indeed You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need I thought there was no reason For all these things I do But the smile that sent out returned with you When day has left the night behind And shadows roll across my mind I sometimes find myself alone out walkin' the street Yes, and when I'm feelin' down and blue Then all I do is think of you And all my foolish problems seem to fade away South City midnight lady I'm much obliged indeed You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need I thought there was no reason For all these things I do But the smile that sent out returned with you |

I know you're leavin' me behind I'm seein' you darlin' for the very last time Show a little tenderness before you go Please let me feel your embrace once more Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while We all must feel heartache sometimes Right now, right now I'm feelin' mine I've tried my best to be strong, but I'm not able I'm like a helpless child left in a cradle Before you leave me behind let me feel happy one more time I'm losin' you and my happiness My life is do dark I must confess I'll never, never see your smiling face no more I'll never, never hear your knock upon my door Before you leave me leave me behind Let me feel happy one more time |
