G C G C
In an Appalachian, Greyhound station
G D G
She sits there waiting, in a family way
C G C
'Goodbye brother, Tell Mom I love her'
G D G
'Tell all the others, I'll write someday'
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 can't 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 say's 'Lay down'
G D G
'This ain't no playground, and this ain't home'
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
'Your daddy never, meant to hurt you ever'
G D G
'he just don't live here, but you've got his eyes'
(Chorus)
