About Long Train Runnin'
Long Train Runnin' is a song recorded by The Doobie Brothers and written by band member Tom Johnston. The harmonica solo is played by lead vocalist Tom Johnston, as is the rhythmic guitar strumming that propels the song.. The song featured on the band's 1973 album The Captain and Me and was released as a single, becoming a top 10 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 8. Apparently, the tune evolved from an untitled and mostly ad-libbed jam that the Doobies developed onstage years before it was finally recorded. .
Long Train Runnin' Lyrics
[00:18.19] Down around the corner
[00:20.19] Half a mile from here
[00:22.29] See them long trains runnin'
[00:24.02] And you watch 'em disappear
[00:26.13] Without love
[00:29.49] Where would you be now?
[00:34.46] (Without love)
[00:43.14] Know I saw Miss Lucy
[00:45.00] Down along the tracks
[00:47.10] She lost her home and her family
[00:48.73] And she won't be coming back
[00:50.88] Without love
[00:54.05] Where would you be right now?
[00:58.93] (Without love)
[01:07.32] Well, the Illinois Central
[01:09.32] And the Southern Central freight
[01:11.29] Got to keep on pushin' mama
[01:13.28] 'Cause you know they're runnin' late
[01:15.26] Without love
[01:18.65] Where would you be now, na-na-now?
[01:23.42] (Without love)
[01:28.73]
[01:56.15] Well, the Illinois Central
[01:58.01] And the Southern Central freight
[02:00.29] Got to keep on pushin' mama
[02:02.26] You know they're runnin' late
[02:04.08] Without love
[02:07.44] Where would you be now?
[02:12.19] (Without love)
[02:20.42] Well, pistons keep on churnin'
[02:22.56] And the wheels go 'round and 'round
[02:24.67] And the steel rails lie cold
[02:26.11] And hard on the mountains they go down
[02:28.76] Without love
[02:31.86] Where would you be right now?
[02:36.94] (Without love)
[02:41.59] Ooh, where would you be now?
[02:51.04] Mmm, got to get you baby-baby
[02:54.79] Won't you move it down?
[02:58.83] Won't you move it down?
[03:01.15] Baby-baby-baby-baby
[03:03.08] Won't you move it down?
[03:07.56] When the big train run
[03:08.93] When the train I'm movin' on
[03:10.44] I got to keep on movin'
[03:12.79] Keep on movin'
[03:14.46] Won't you keep on movin'?
[03:16.46] Won't you keep on movin'?

[00:24.02] And you watch 'em disappear
[00:26.13] Without love
[00:29.49] Where would you be now?
[00:34.46] (Without love)
