Crying in the Smoky Mountain Rain

Verse 1

Blue ridge hills keep their secrets

Underneath a slate gray sky

I keep countin' all the reasons

That you had to say goodbye

The radio keeps playin' sad songs

Down the hollow where we'd walk

Every turn of every gravel road

Still echoes with your talk

Chorus

Crying in the Smoky Mountain rain

Wishing you were here beside me again

These Tennessee thunderclouds

Carry nothin' but my pain

Crying in the Smoky Mountain rain

Verse 2

Your photograph's still faded

By the window where I stand

I trace the lines across your face

Like water through my hands

The porch light's been on steady

Since the night you drove away

I swear I smell your old cologne

On this cold and empty day

Chorus

Crying in the Smoky Mountain rain

Wishing you were here beside me again

These Tennessee thunderclouds

Carry nothin' but my pain

Crying in the Smoky Mountain rain

Bridge

Maybe someday I'll stop countin'

Every mile you put between

But tonight I'm just a woman

Living out a broken dream

Chorus

Crying in the Smoky Mountain rain

Wishing you were here beside me again

These Tennessee thunderclouds

Carry nothin' but my pain

Crying in the Smoky Mountain rain
