I thumbed my way from LA back to Knoxville,
I found out those bright lights aint 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.
Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin',
I keep on callin' her name.
Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searchin',
I can't go on hurtin' this way,
She's somewhere in the Smokey 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?
Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin',
I keep on callin' her name.
Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searchin',
I 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!
Ronnie Milsap recorded "Smokey Mountain Rain" in 1980. It became almost an overnight #1 hit!
Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin',
I keep on callin' her name.
Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searchin',
I can't go on hurtin' this way,
Smokey Mountain Rain keeps on fallin'...
