Smoky Mountain Rain

I thumbed my way from L.A. back to Knoxville

I found out those bright lights ain't where I belong

From a phone booth in the rain, I called to tell her

I've had a change of dreams, I'm comin' home

But tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone

Smoky Mountain rain keeps on fallin' (Smoky Mountain rain)

I keep on callin' her name

Smoky Mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin' (Smoky Mountain rain)

I can't go on hurtin' this way

She's somewhere in the Smoky Mountain rain

I waved a diesel down outside a cafe

He said that he was goin' as far as Gatlinburg

I climbed up in the cab all wet and cold and lonely

I wiped my eyes and told him about her

I've got to find her

Can you make these big wheels burn?

Smoky Mountain rain keeps on fallin' (Smoky Mountain rain)

I keep on callin' her name

Smoky Mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin' (Smoky Mountain rain)

I can't go on hurtin' this way

She's somewhere in the Smoky Mountain rain

I can't blame her for lettin' go

A woman needs someone warm to hold

I feel the rain runnin' down my face

I'll find her, no matter what it takes

Smoky Mountain rain keeps on fallin' (Smoky Mountain rain)

I keep on callin' her name

Smoky Mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin' (Smoky Mountain rain)

I can't go on hurtin' this way

Smoky Mountain rain keeps on fallin' (Smoky Mountain rain)

I keep on callin' her name

Smoky Mountain
