SOL DO SOL DO
In an Appalachian, Greyhound station
SOL RE SOL
She sits there waiting, in a family way
DO SOL DO
'Goodbye brother, Tell Mom I love her'
SOL RE SOL
'Tell all the others, I'll write someday'
Chorus
SOL DO SOL
From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother
RE
kept undercovers, like some bad dream
SOL DO SOL DO
While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered
SOL RE SOL
They run like water, through a mountain stream
SOL DO SOL DO
In a cold and grey town, a nurse say's 'Lay down'
SOL RE SOL
'This ain't no playground, and this ain't home'
DO SOL DO
Someones children, out having children
SOL RE SOL
in a grey stone building, all al-one
(Chorus)
SOL DO SOL DO
Some where else bound, Smokey Mountain Greyhound
SOL RE SOL
She bows her head down, humming lullabys
DO SOL DO
'Your daddy never, meant to hurt you ever'
SOL RE SOL
'he just don't live here, but you've got his eyes'
(Chorus)
