Smoky Mountain Rain

I thumbed my way from LA back to Knoxville I found those bright lights ain't 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 Smoky Mountain rain, it keeps on fallin' I keep on callin' her name Smoky mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin' I 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 "I've got to find her can you make these big wheels burn"? Smoky Mountain rain, it keeps on fallin' I keep on callin' her name Smoky mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin' I can't go on hurtin' this way She's somewhere in the Smoky 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 Smoky Mountain rain, it keeps on fallin' I keep on callin' her name Smoky mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin' I can't go on hurtin' this way Smoky Mountain rain, it keeps on fallin' I keep on callin' her name
