Smoky Mountain Rain

[Verse 1:] 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 [Chorus:] Smoky Mountain rain Keeps on falling I 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 Smokey Mountain rain [Verse 2:] I waved a diesel down outside a cafe He said that 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 I've got to find her Can you make these big wheels burn? [Repeat Chorus:] [Bridge:] I 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 [Repeat Chorus:]
