He thumbed his way from LA back to Knoxville
He found out those bright lights ain't where he belonged
From a phone booth in the rain he called to tell me
He had a change of dreams he's coming home
But I told him not to bother cause I'm gone
Smoky mountain rain keeps on falling (keeps on falling)
I keep on calling (no need calling)
Her name (just forget my name)
Smoky mountain rain I'll keep on searching (keep on searching)
I can't go on hurting (so now you're hurting)
Hurting this way (but you threw me away)
She's somewhere in the smoky mountain rain
I waved a diesel down 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
I've got to find her can you make these big wheels burn, right now
Smoky mountain rain keeps on falling (keeps on falling)
I keep on calling (keep on calling)
Callin her name (but it ain't the same)
Smoky mountain rain I'll keep on searching (keep on searching)
I can't go on hurting (I know about hurting)
Hurting this way (turnabout's fair play)
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
Gotta find her no matter what it takes, yes I will
(It's too late)
Smoky mountain rain keeps on falling (keeps on falling)
I keep on calling (there's no need calling)
Calling her name (just forget my name) (gonna find her)
Smoky mountain rain I'll keep on searching
(There's no need searching)
I can't go on hurting (I'm sorry you're hurting)
Hurting this way (what can I say) (gonna change her mind)
Smoky mountain rain (smoky mountain rain)
I keep on calling, calling, calling, calling her name
(Forget my name)
(Gonna change her mind)
Smoky mountain rain
