Smoky Mountain Rain - Ronnie Milsap

I thumbed my way from LA back to Knoxville

I found those bright lights aint where I belonged

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, it keeps on fallin'

I keep on callin' her name

Smoky mountain rain, I’ll keep on searchin'

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 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

«To find her can you make these big wheels burn»?

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

CHORUS
