Never would have
hitchhiked to
Birmingham
it hadn't
If been for love
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
Never would
have seen
the trouble that
I'm in
If it hadn't
been for love
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
wishin' 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
he's lying still
Four cold walls
without parole
Lord' have mercy
on my soul
Never would
gone to
that side of town
If it
hadn't been
for love
Never would
have took
a mind to track
him down
If it hadn't
been for love
Never would
have loaded
up a 44
And put
myself behind
the jailhouse door
If it hadn't been'
if it hadn't been
for love
Four cold walls
against my will
least At
I know
he's lying still
Four cold walls
without parole
Lord' have mercy
on my soul
Never would have
hitchhiked to
Birmingham
If it hadn't
been for love
Never would have
caught the train
to Louisiana
If it hadn't
been for love
Never would
have loaded up
a 44
And put
myself behind
the jailhouse door
hadn't If it been'
if it hadn't been
for love
it If hadn't been'
if it hadn't been
for love
If it hadn't been'
if it hadn't been
for love
