Smokey Mountain Rain (feat. Dolly Parton)

He thumbed his way from LA back to Knoxville. He found out those bright lights ain't where he Belongs. 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. Best forget my name. Yeah, 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. Calling 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. Turn in my spare place. She's somewhere in the smoky mountain rain. Listen, I can't blame her for letting go. A woman needs someone warm to hold. I feel the rain running down my face. Got to find her no matter what it takes. Please Yes I will. Oh. Oh. Smoky mountain rain. Keeps on falling. Keeps on falling. I keep on calling. Better no need Calling her name. Best forget my name. Smoky mountain rain. I'll keep on searching. You know makes sense. I can't go on hurting. I'm sorry you're hurting. This way. What can say? I changed her mind. Smoky mountain rain. Smoky mountain rain. I keep on calling, calling, calling, Calling her name. Best forget my name. Got to change her mind. Smoky mountain rain. I'll keep on searching. Searching.
