[Verse 1]
AmNever woulda hitchhiked to Birmingham
AmIf it hadn't been for love
AmNever woulda caught the train to Louisianne
If it hFadn't been for love
AmNever woulda run through the blindin' rain
With ouFt one dollar to my name
If it hFadn't been, if it E7hadn't been for Amlove
[Verse 2]
AmI never woulda seen the trouble that I'm in
AmIf it hadn't been for love
AmWoulda been gone like a wayward wind
If it hFadn't been for love
AmNobody knows it better than me
FI wouldn't be wishin' I was free
If it hFadn't been, if it E7hadn't been for Amlove

CFour cold Gwalls, Dmagainst my wFill

AmNever woulda gone to that side of town
AmIf it hadn't been for love

FPut myself behind a jailhouse door
If it hFadn't been, if it E7hadn't been for Amlove
[Chorus 2]

At Cleast I Gknow she's Dmlyin' sAmtill
