In an Appalachian, Greyhound station 在阿巴拉契亚，灰狗站

She sits there waiting, in a family way 她坐在那里等待，在一个家庭的方式

"Goodbye brother, Tell Mom I love her “再见哥哥，告诉妈妈我爱她

Tell all the others, I'll write someday" 告诉所有的人，我会写一天“

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother 从十几岁的情人，一个未婚妈妈

Kept undercover, like some bad dream 保持卧底，像一些不好的梦

While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered 虽然未婚父亲，他们不能被人打扰

They run like water, through a mountain stream 他们跑得像水，通过山涧

   

In a cold and gray town, a nurse say's "Lay down" 在寒冷和灰色小镇，一名护士说的“放下”

'This ain't no playground, and this ain't home' “这不是没有操场，这不是家”

Someone's children, out having children 别人的孩子，出去生孩子

In a gray stone building, all alone 在一个灰色的石头建筑，独自一人

   

On somewhere else bound, Smokey Mountain Greyhound 在别的地方的约束，斯莫基山灰狗

She bows her head down, hummin' lullabies 她朝她低着头， hummin “摇篮曲

'Your daddy never, meant to hurt you ever' “你爸爸从来没有，意味着曾经伤害过你”

'He just don't live here, but you've got his eyes' “他只是不住在这里，但你已经得到了他的眼睛”

Well, they run like water, 那么，他们跑水一样，

Through a mountain stream 通过山涧
