Intro
Verse
In an Appalachian Greyhound station
She sits there waiting, in a family way
“Goodbye brother, tell Mom I love her
Tell all the others, I'll write someday.”
Chorus
From an 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
Verse
In a cold and grey town, a nurse says “Lay down
This ain't no playground, and this ain't home”
Someones children, out having children
in a grey stone building, all alone
Chorus
From an 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
Break
Verse
On a somewhere else bound, Smokey Mountain Greyhound
She bows her head down, humming lullabys
“Your daddy never, meant to hurt you ever
He just don't live here, but you've got his eyes”
Chorus
From an 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
