Lyric discussion by th3xRid3x0fxY0urxLif3 

most of the songs the doobie brothers wrote dont make sense. but since when do all songs have 2 make sense anyway?? this song is about the music & the words-not the meaning. if u really think about it & instead of finding the lyrics' meaning, & trying 2 make sense of it all, jus relax & let ur mind go blank & sing along if u can(: .alot of the doobie brothers write songs about love.many things can represent love.this song represent love thru trains (long trains in motion that is x] ). i ges what the message of this song-"without love where would we be now?" "we'd probly be stranded out on our own jus walking (like Miss Lucy) & not knowing where 2 go-since we don`t have love." ?. not shure. but what i do know is that this is 1 of my favorite songs & 1 of my favorite songs by them(:
