Lyrics of Smokey mountain rain

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

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 rain

I 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 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

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 rain
