I thumbed my way from L.A. back to Knox-ville

I found out those bright lights

Ain't where I be-long

From a phone booth in the rain

I called to tell her

I've had a change of dreams I'm com-in' home

But tears filled my eyes

when I found out she was gone

Smok-ey Moun-tain rain keeps on fall-in'

I keep on call-in' her name

Smok-ey Moun-tain rain I'll keep on search-in'

I can't go on hurt-in' this way

She's some-where in the Smok-ey Moun-tain rain

I waved a die-sel down out-side a ca-fe'

He said that he was go-in' as far as Gat-lin-burg

I climbed up in the cab

all wet and cold and lone-ly

I wiped my eyes and told him a-bout her

I've got to find her!

Can you make these big wheels burn?

Smok-ey Moun-tain rain keeps on fall-in'

I keep on call-in' her name

Smok-ey Moun-tain rain I'll keep on search-in'

I can't go on hurt-in' this way

She's some-where in the Smok-ey Moun-tain rain

I can't blame her for let-tin' go

A wom-an needs some-one warm to hold

I feel the rain run-nin' down my face

I'll find her no mat-ter what it takes!

Smok-ey Moun-tain rain I'll keep on search-in'

I can't go on hurt-in' this way

She's some-where in the Smok-ey Moun-tain rain

Smok-ey Moun-tain rain keeps on fall-in'

I keep on call-in' her name

Smok-ey Moun-tain rain I'll keep on search-in'

I can't go on hurt-in' this way

She's some-where in the Smok-ey Moun-tain rain
