Unwed Fathers
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
In a cold and gray town, a nurse say's 'lay down' 'this ain't no playground, and this ain't home' Someone's children, out having children Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com In a gray stone building, all alone
On somewhere else bound, smokey 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'
Repeat chorus:
Well, they run like water, Through a mountain stream
