[G] In an Appalachian, [C] Greyhound [G] station [C]
She sits there [G] waiting, [D] in a family [G] way
'Goodbye brother, [C] Tell Mom I [G] love her' [C]
'Tell all the [G] others, [D] I'll write some-[G]day'
[G] From an teenage [C] lover, to an unwed [G] mother
kept undercover, like some bad [D] dream
While unwed [G] fathers, [C] they can't be [G] bothered [C]
They run like [G] water, [D] through a mountain [G] stream
[G] In a cold and grey town, [C] a nurse says [G] 'Lay down' [C]
'This ain't no [G] playground, [D] and this ain't [G] home'
Someones children, [C] out having [G] children [C]
in a grey stone [G] building, [D] all a-[G]lone
[G] From an teenage [C] lover, to an unwed [G] mother
kept undercover, like some bad [D] dream
While unwed [G] fathers, [C] they can't be [G] bothered [C]
They run like [G] water, [D] through a mountain [G] stream
[G] Some where else bound, [C] Smokey Mountain [G] Greyhound [C]
She bows her [G] head down, [D] humming lulla-[G]bies
'Your daddy never, [C] meant to hurt you [G] ever' [C]
'he just don't [G] live here, [D] but you've got his[G] eyes'
[G] From an teenage [C] lover, to an unwed [G] mother
kept undercover, like some bad [D] dream
While unwed [G] fathers, [C] they can't be [G] bothered [C]
They run like [G] water, [D] through a mountain [G] stream
