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 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 say's "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
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'
Repeat Chorus:
Well, they run like water,
Through a mountain streamWhere have you gone?
How Does time pass by so fast
Seems like yesterday
You and I
We Could Relate
But you know how things change
But is it me? Or is it time?
Now I'm stuck looking back
On somehting that I'll never have again
All this time with regret
I Just Lost Today
Worrying about yesterday
Can't live in yesterday
All this time with regret
I lost today
Worrying about yesterday
I lost today
And No I'll never forget about you
I lost today
I just came to terms that I've lost you
On with my life
