Smoky Mountain Rain Songtext
von Ronnie Milsap

I thumbed 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 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
