Smoky Mountain Rain Lyrics

performed by Ronnie Milsap
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
CHORUS:
Smoky Mountain Rain keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smoky Mountain Rain I'll kep on searchin'
I can't go on hurtin' this way
she's somewhere in the smoky mountain rain
verse 2:
I waved a diesel down outside a cafe
he said he was goin' as far as Gatlinburg
I climbed up in the cab all wet and lonely
I wiped my eyes and told him about her
I've got to find her can you make these big wheels burn
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE: 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
(instrumental)
(CHORUS)
