If It Hadn't Been for Love

[Verse 1] Never would've hitchhiked to Birmingham If it hadn't been for love Never would've caught the train to Louisiana If it hadn't been for love Never would've run through the blindin' rain Without one dollar to my name If it hadn't been If it hadn't been for love Never would've seen the trouble that I'm in If it hadn't been for love 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 [Hook] 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 [Verse 2] Never would've gone to that side of town If it hadn't been for love Never would've took a mind to track him down If it hadn't been for love Never would've loaded up a forty-four And put myself behind a jailhouse door If it hadn't been If it hadn't been for love [Hook] [Verse 3] Never would've hitchhiked to Birmingham If it hadn't been for love Never would've caught the train to Louisiana If it hadn't been for love Never would've loaded up a forty-four 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 If it hadn't been for love
