Selection chords: Sofia Davis

F                  A#         F       A#
In an Appalachian, Greyhound station
               F        C           F
She sits there waiting, in a family way
                  A#          F         A#
ʼGoodbye brother, Tell Mom I love herʼ
              F       C              F
ʼTell all the others, Iʼll write somedayʼ

Chorus:
F               A#                  F
From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother
                                C
kept undercovers, like some bad dream
            F        A#             F        A#
While unwed fathers, they canʼt be bothered
              F      C                  F
They run like water, through a mountain stream

F                        A#             F          A#
In a cold and grey town, a nurse sayʼs ʼLay downʼ
               F            C             F
ʼThis ainʼt no playground, and this ainʼt homeʼ
                   A#          F       A#
Someones children, out having children
                F          C     F
in a grey stone building, all al-one

Chorus.

F                      A#               F         A#
Some where else bound, Smokey Mountain Greyhound
             F          C            F
She bows her head down, humming lullabys
                   A#                 F     A#
ʼYour daddy never, meant to hurt you everʼ
               F          C                 F
ʼhe just donʼt live here, but youʼve got his eyesʼ

Chorus.
