G#C#G#C#
In an Appalachian, Greyhound station
G#D#G#
She sits there waiting, in a family way
C#G#C#
ʼGoodbye brother, Tell Mom I love herʼ
G#D#G#
ʼTell all the others, Iʼll write somedayʼ
Chorus:
G#C#G#
From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother
D#
kept undercovers, like some bad dream
G#C#G#C#
While unwed fathers, they canʼt be bothered
G#D#G#
They run like water, through a mountain stream
G#C#G#C#
In a cold and grey town, a nurse sayʼs ʼLay downʼ
G#D#G#
ʼThis ainʼt no playground, and this ainʼt homeʼ
C#G#C#
Someones children, out having children
G#D#G#
in a grey stone building, all al-one
Chorus.
G#C#G#C#
Some where else bound, Smokey Mountain Greyhound
G#D#G#
She bows her head down, humming lullabys
C#G#C#
ʼYour daddy never, meant to hurt you everʼ
G#D#G#
ʼhe just donʼt live here, but youʼve got his eyesʼ
Chorus.
