Smoky Mountain Rain - Ronnie Milsap

Published on Sep 3, 2012
Ronnie Milsap - "Smoky Mountain Rain" is taken from the 1980 "Greatest Hits" album. (Lyrics)

I thumbed my way from L.A. 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

Smoky mountain rain keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smoky mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin'
Can't go on hurtin' this way
She's somewhere in the smoky 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?

Smoky mountain rain keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smoky mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin'
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

Smoky mountain rain keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smoky mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin'
Smoky mountain rain keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
