Smokey Mountain Rain (1980)
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 coming home
But tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone
Smokey Mountain rain keeps on falling keeps on calling her name
Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searching can't go on hurting this way
She's somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain
Lifted me a diesel outside a cafe
He said he was going 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
Smokey Mountain rain keeps on falling keeps on calling her name
Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searching can't go on hurting this way
She's somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain
Can't blame her for letting go a woman needs someone warm to hold
I feel the rain running down my face I'll find her no matter what it takes
Smokey Mountain rain keeps on falling keeps on calling her name
Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searching can't go on hurting this way
Smokey Mountain rain keeps on falling keeps on calling her name
Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searching can't go on hurting this way
