If It Hadn't Been For Love

I never would have hitchhiked to Birmingham

If it hadn't been for love

I never would have caught the train to Louisiana

If it hadn't been for love

Never would have run through the blinding rain

Without one dollar to my name

If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love

I never would have seen the trouble that I'm in

If it hadn't been for love

I would have been gone like a wayward wind

If it hadn't been for love

Nobody knows it better than me

I wouldn't be WISHING THAT I WAS FREE

If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love

Four cold walls against my will

At least I know she's lying still

Four cold walls without parole

Lord have mercy on my soul

Never would have gone to that side of town

If it hadn't been for love

Never would have took a MIND TO TRACK HER DOWN

If it hadn't been for love.

I never would have loaded up a .44

Put myself behind a jail house door

If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love.

If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love

Four cold walls against my will.

At least I know she's lying still.

Four cold walls without parole

Lord have mercy on my soul

I never would have hitchhiked to Birmingham

If it hadn't been for love

I never would have caught the train to Louisiana

If it hadn't been for love

I never would have loaded up a .44

Put myself behind a jail house door

If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love

If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love

If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
