Gail Davies - Unwed Fathers lyrics

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 undercover, like some bad dream While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered And they run like water, through a mountain stream In a cold and gray town, a nurse say's "Lay down" 'This ain't no playground, and this ain't home' Someone's children, having children In an old gray building, and all alone From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother Kept undercover, like some bad dream While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered And they run like water, through a mountain stream On somewhere else bound, Mountain Greyhound She holds her head down, singing lullabies Scared and crazy, she holds her baby And says that he made it, you got your daddys eye From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother Kept undercover, like some bad dream While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered And they run like water, through a mountain stream And they run like water, Through a mountain stream
