In an Appalachian, |
|
Greyhound station |
|
She sits there waitin', in a family way"Goodbye brother, tell mom, I love herTell all the others, I'll write someday" |
|
From a teenage lover, to an unwed mother |
|
Kept undercover, like some bad dream |
|
While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered |
|
They run like water, through a mountain stream |
|
In a cold and gray town, a nurse says, "Lay down"' |
|
This ain't no playground, this ain't home' |
|
Someone's children, out havin' children |
|
In a gray stone building, all alone |
|
From a teenage lover, to an unwed mother |
|
Kept undercover, like some bad dream |
|
While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered |
|
They run like water, through a mountain stream |
|
On somewhere else bound, |
|
Smokey Mountain |
|
GreyhoundShe bows her head down, hummin' lullabies"Your daddy never, meant to hurt you everHe just don't live here, but you've got his eyes" |
|
From a teenage lover, to an unwed mother |
|
Kept undercover, like some bad dream |
|
While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered |
|
They run like water, through a mountain stream |
|
Well, they run like water, through a mountain stream |
