C F C In an Appalachian, Greyhound station Am G C She sits there waiting, in a family way F C "Goodbye brother, tell Mom I love her C Am G C Tell all the others, I'll write someday" Chorus: C F C From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother C Am G Kept undercover, like some bad dream C F C And unwed fathers, can't be bothered Am G C They run like water, in a mountain stream In a cold and gray town, the nurse says "Lay down" "This ain't no playground, and you ain't home" Someone's children, are having children In a cold gray building, all alone Chorus On somewhere else bound, midnight Greyhound She hangs her head down, and hums a lullaby Scared half crazy, she holds her baby She says I think maybe, you got your daddy's eyes Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre
