an apparition Greyhound Station she sits there waiting in a family way
goodbye brother tell mom I love her tell all the others I'll write some day
from a teenage lover to an unwed mother kept under covers like some bad dream while unwed fathers they can't be bothered they're running like water through a mountain stream
in the 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 under covers like some bad dream while unwed fathers they can't be bothered they're running like water through a mountain stream
while somewhere else bound Smokey Mountain Greyhound she bows her head down humming 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 under covers like some bad dream while unwed fathers they can't be bothered they're running like water through a mountain stream
