Ronnie Milsap - "Smoky Mountain Rain" is taken from the 1980 "Greatest Hits" album. (Lyrics) I thumbed my way from L.A. back to Knoxville I found out those bright lights ain't 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 Smoky mountain rain keeps on fallin' I keep on callin' her name Smoky mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin' Can't go on hurtin' this way She's somewhere
