If It Hadn't Been For Love

Lyrics: Henderson, Stapleton
Music: Henderson, Stapleton

Sung by Grahame Lesh with Phil Lesh & Friends in 2012.

Never would have hitch-hiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
Never would have caught the train to Louisian'
If it hadn't been for love

Never would have run through the blinding rain
Without one dollar to my name
If it hadn't been
If it hadn't been for love

Never would have seen the trouble that I'm in
If it hadn't been for love
Would have 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 she's lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul

Never would have gone to that side of town
If it hadn't been for love
Never would have took a mind to track her down
If it hadn't been for love

Never would have loaded up a forty four
Put myself behind a jailhouse door
If it hadn't been
If it hadn't been for love

Four cold walls against my will
At least I know she's lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul

Never would have hitch-hiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
Never would have caught the train to Louisian'
If it hadn't been for love

Never would have 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
