Smoky Mountain Rain lyrics

I thumbed my way from LA 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

Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin'

I keep on callin' her name

Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searchin'

I can't go on hurtin' this way

She's somewhere in the Smokey 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?

Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin'

I keep on callin' her name

Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searchin'

I can't go on hurtin' this way

She's somewhere in the Smokey 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!

Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin'

I keep on callin' her name

Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searchin'

I can't go on hurtin' this way

Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin'

I keep on callin' her name

Smokey Mountain rain ...
