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
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 smoky mountain rain
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
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 smoky mountain rain
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
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
smoky mountain rain
keeps on falling
i keep on calling her name
