Standard (EADGBE)

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 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)
