I thumbed my way from L.A. back to Knoxville

I found out those bright lights ain't where I belong

I've had a change of dreams I'm comin' home
C D (C, D)
but tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone
[Chorus]
G Bm C D (C,D)
Smoky Mountain Rain keeps on fallin' I keep on callin' her name
G Bm
Smoky Mountain Rain I'll keep on searchin'

I can't go on hurtin' this way she's somewhere in the smoky mountain (G)rain (G/C,)
Em C
I waved a diesel down outside a cafe

Said he was goin' as far as Gatlinburg

I climbed up in the cab all wet, 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
