Вступление
[Intro]
[Verse 2]
N.C.
In an Appalachian Greyhound station
She sat there waiting, in a family way
“Goodbye brother, tell Mom I love her
Tell all the others, I'll write someday.”
[Chorus]
From teenage lover, to unwed mother
kept undercover, like some bad dream
While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered
And they run like water through a mountain stream
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
In a cold and gray town, a nurse says “Lay down
This ain't no playground, hmm and honey this ain't home”
Someone's children, out having children
in a old gray building, and all alone
[Chorus]
From teenage lover, to unwed mother
kept undercover, like some bad dream
While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered
And they run like water through a mountain stream
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
N.C.
On a somewhere else bound, nighttime Greyhound
She holds her head down, singing lullabies
Scared and crazy, she holds her baby
And says I think maybe you've got your daddy's eyes
[Chorus]
From teenage lover, to unwed mother
kept undercover, like some bad dream
While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered
And they run like water through a mountain stream
[Outro]
N.C.
Yeah they run like water
Through a mountain stream
