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' From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother kept undercovers, like some bad dream While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered They run like water, through a mountain stream In a cold and grey town, a nurse say's 'Lay down' 'This ain't no playground, and this ain't home' Someones children, out having children in a grey stone building, all al-one (Chorus) Some where else bound, Smokey Mountain Greyhound She bows her head down, humming lullabys 'Your daddy never, meant to hurt you ever' 'he just don't live here, but you've got his eyes' (Chorus)
