Unwed Fathers (Live)
Lyricist:B Braddock, J Prine
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 a teenage lover to an unwed mother Kept undercover like some bad dream While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered They run like water from a mountain stream
In a cold and gray town, a nurse says, 'Lay down' This ain't no playground and this ain't home' They're someone's children, out having children In a gray stone building and they're all alone
From a teenage lover to an unwed mother Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Kept undercover like some bad dream While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered They run like water from a mountain stream
On somewhere else bound, Smokey Mountain Greyhound She bows her head down, hummin' lullabies Your daddy never meant to hurt you ever He just don't live here but you've got his eyes
From a teenage lover to an unwed mother Kept undercover like some bad dream While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered They run like water from a mountain stream
Well, they run like water from a mountain stream
