Smokey Mountain Rain Lyrics

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 goneSmokey 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 rainI 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 rainI 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 takesSmokey 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
