Smokey Mountain Rain
 

I thumb my way from l a, back to knoxville,
I found out those bright lites ain't where I belong,
from a phone booth in the rain, I call to tell her,
I had a change of dreams, I'm coming home
but tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone

Smokey mountain rain, keeps on falling, and I keep calling, her name
Smokey mountain rain, I'll keep on search-ing, I can't go on hurting this way
she's somewhere in the smokey mountain rain

I waved a diesel down out-side a cafe,
he said that he was going as far as gatlinburg,
I climbed up in the cab all wet and cold & lonely
I wiped my eyes & told him about her, I got to find her
can you make these big wheels burn

Smokey mountain rain , keeps on falling, I keep on calling, her name
Smokey mountain rain, I'll keep on search-ing, I can't go on hurting this way
she's somewhere in the smokey mountain rain

I can't blame her for letting go, a woman needs someone warm to hold
I feel the rain running down my face, I'll find her no matter what it takes

Smokey mountain rain , keeps on falling, I keep on calling, her name
Smokey mountain rain, i'll keep on search-ing, I can't go on hurting this way
Smokey mountain rain , keeps on falling, I keep on calling, her name
Smokey mountain rain, I'll keep on search-ing, I can't go on hurting this way
