"I dropped her off at a Greyhound station in Tennessee and never looked back" sounds like the first line in a country song.
In fact one of the greatest country songs ever! Unwed Fathers by John Prine
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"
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
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'
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
Or you could go in a different country direction with Kris Kristofferson and Me and Bobby McGee
One day near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
She's looking for that home I hope she finds
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine
(Be sure you don't have similar regrets about Siri!)
