Unwed Fathers |
In an Appalachian, Greyhound station |
She sits there waiting, in a family way |
Goodbye brother, tell Ma I love her |
Tell all the others that I’ll write someday |
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 |
In 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 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 |
Somewhere else bound, Smokey Mountain Greyhound |
She bows her head down, singing lullabies |
Your daddy never meant to hurt you ever |
He just don’t live here but you’ve got his eyes |
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 |
Oh, they run like water through a mountain stream |
