Unwed Fathers (feat. Liz Isenberg)

In an Appalachian, Greyhound station
 She sits there waiting, in a family way
 Goodbye brother, tell Ma I love her
 Tell all the others that 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
 They run like water through a mountain stream
 In a cold and gray town, a nurse says lay down
 This ain't no playground and this ain't home
 Someone's children out having children
 In a gray stone building, all alone
 From an teenage lover to an unwed mother
 Kept undercover like some bad dream
 While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered
 They run like water through a mountain stream
 ♪
 Somewhere else bound, Smokey Mountain Greyhound
 ♪
 She bows her head down, singing lullabies
 Your daddy never meant to hurt you ever
 He just don't live here but you've got his eyes
 From an teenage lover to an unwed mother
 Kept undercover like some bad dream
 While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered
 They run like water, through a mountain stream
 Oh, they run like water through a mountain stream
