In an Appalachian, Greyhound station
She sits there waitin', in a family way
"Goodbye brother, tell Mom I love her
"Tell 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, from a mountain stream
A cold and gray town, a nurse says "Lay down"
This ain't no playground, and this ain't home
Someone's children, out having 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, from a mountain stream
♪
On somewhere else bound, Smoky Mountain Greyhound
She bows her head down, hummin' lullabies
Your daddy never, meant to hurt you ever
He 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, from a mountain stream
Well, they run like water
From a mountain stream
