A beautiful song with an artist with a beautiful voice. I chose to share a song by Ronnie Milsap. I was blessed to see play a long long time ago in a free yes, free concert.
Once I settled on sharing the Song of the Day Challenge Day 28: A beautiful song with a artist with a beautiful voice I had to chose one song of Ronnie’s and man on man that was so hard. As he had so many songs to chose from.
Smoky Mountain Rain is what I decided on because I have always loved this song. I can’t wait to share it with Charlie and to teach him the words so he can sing Smoky Mountain Rain as well.
“Smoky Mountain Rain” is a song written by Kye Fleming and Dennis Morgan, and recorded by American country music singer Ronnie Milsap. It was released in September 1980 as the first single from his Greatest Hits compilation album. The single became one of his best-known songs.
SONG LYRICS
I thumbed my way from LA back to Knoxville
I found out those bright lights aint 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
Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin`
I keep on callin` her name
Smokey Mountain rain I`ll keep on searchin`
I can`t go on hurtin` this way
She`s somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain
I waved a diesel down outside a cafe`
He said that he was goin` 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?
Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin`
I keep on callin` her name
Smokey Mountain rain I`ll keep on searchin`
I can`t go on hurtin` this way
She`s somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain
I can`t blame her for lettin` go
A woman needs someone warm to hold
I feel the rain runnin` down my face
I`ll find her no matter what it takes!
Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin`
I keep on callin` her name
Smokey Mountain rain I`ll keep on searchin`
I can`t go on hurtin` this way
She`s somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
