Never wouldve hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadnt been for love
Never wouldve caught the train to Louisiana
If it hadnt been for love
Never wouldve run through the blindin rain
Without one dollar to my name
If it hadnt been
If it hadnt been for love
Never wouldve seen the trouble that Im in
If it hadnt been for love
Wouldve been gone like a wayward wind
If it hadnt been for love
Nobody knows it better than me
I wouldnt be wishing I was free
If it hadnt been
If it hadnt been for love
Four cold walls against my will
At least I know hes lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul
Never wouldve gone to that side of town
If it hadnt been for love
Never wouldve took a mind to track him down
If it hadnt been for love
Never wouldve loaded up a forty-four
And put myself behind a jailhouse door
If it hadnt been
If it hadnt been for love
Four cold walls against my will
At least I know hes lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul
Never wouldve hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadnt been for love
Never wouldve caught the train to Louisiana
If it hadnt been for love
Never wouldve loaded up a forty-four
Put myself behind a jailhouse door
If it hadnt been
If it hadnt been for love
If it hadnt been
If it hadnt been for love
If it hadnt been
If it hadnt been for love
