Kentucky Rain

Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago

I reached out one night and you were gone

Don't know why you'd run, what you're runnin' to or from

All I know is I want to bring you home

So I'm walking in the rain thumbin' for a ride

On this lonely Kentucky backroad

I've loved you much too long, my love's too strong

To let you go, never knowing what went wrong

Kentucky rain keeps pourin' down

And up ahead's another town that I'll go walkin' through

With the rain in my shoes (Rain in my shoes)

Searchin' for you in the cold Kentucky rain (Cold Kentucky rain)

In the cold Kentucky rain

Showed your photograph to some old gray-bearded men

Sitting on a bench outside a general store

They said, "Yes, she's been here"

But their memory wasn't clear

Was it yesterday, no wait, the day before

Finally got a ride with a preacher man who asked

Where you bound on such a cold dark afternoon?

As we drove on through the rain

As he listened, I explained

And he left me with a prayer that I'd find you

Kentucky rain keeps pourin' down

And up ahead's another town that I'll go walkin' through

With the rain in my shoes (Rain in my shoes)

Searchin' for you in the cold Kentucky rain

In the cold Kentucky rain

In the cold Kentucky rain

In the cold Kentucky rain

The cold Kentucky rain (Cold Kentucky Rain)

In the cold Kentucky rain
