(I) never would've hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
I never would've caught the train to Louisiana
If it hadn't been for love
(I) never would've 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've seen the trouble that I'm in
If it hadn't been for love
(I) would've been gone like a wayward wind
If it hadn't been for love
Nobody knows it better than me
I wouldn't be wishing 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
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
I never would've hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
I never would've caught a train to Louisiana
if it hadn't been for love
Never would've loaded up a 44
Put myself behind a jailhouse 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
for love
