John Prine
Unwed Fathers

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

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

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'

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

Well, they run like water,
Through a mountain stream


Mirror lyrics:

Through a mountain stream
Well, they run like water,

They run like water, through a mountain stream
While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered
Kept undercover, like some bad dream
From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother
Chorus:

'He just don't live here, but you've got his eyes'
'Your daddy never, meant to hurt you ever'
She bows her head down, hummin' lullabies
On somewhere else bound, Smokey Mountain Greyhound

They run like water, through a mountain stream
While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered
Kept undercover, like some bad dream
From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother
Chorus:

In a gray stone building, all alone
Someone's children, out having children
'This ain't no playground, and this ain't home'
In a cold and gray town, a nurse say's "Lay down"

They run like water, through a mountain stream
While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered
Kept undercover, like some bad dream
From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother
Chorus:

Tell all the others, I'll write someday"
"Goodbye brother, Tell Mom I love her
She sits there waiting, in a family way
In an Appalachian, Greyhound station
