I thumb my way from la
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 coming home
But the tears filled my eyes
When I found out she was gone
Smoky Mountain rain keeps on falling
I'll keep on calling her name
Smoky Mountain rain
I'll keep on searching
I can't go on hurting this way
She's somewhere in this Smoky Mountain rain
I waved a diesel down outside a cafe
Said he was going as far as Gatlinburg
I climbed 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 keeps on falling
I'll keep on calling her name
Smoky Mountain rain
I'll keep on searching
I can't go on hurting this way
She's somewhere in the Smoky Mountain rain
I can't blame her for letting go
A woman needs someone warm to hold
Feel the rain running down my face
I'll find her no matter what it takes
Smoky Mountain rain keeps on falling
I'll keep on calling her name
Smoky Mountain rainI'll keep on searching
I can't go on hurting this way
Smoky Mountain rain keeps on falling
I'll keep on calling her name
Smoky Mountain rain
I'll keep on searching
I can't go on hurting this way
