Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago I reached out one night and you were gone Dont know why youd run What youre running to or from All I know is I want to bring you home So Im walking in the rain, thumbing for a ride On this lonely Kentucky back road Ive loved you much too long and my loves too strong To let you go, never knowing What went wrong Kentucky rain keeps pouring down And up aheads another town that Ill go walking through With the rain in my shoes Searching for you In the cold Kentucky rain, whoa 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, shes been here But their memory wasnt clear Was it yesterday, no, wait, the day before? Well, I finally got a ride With a preacher man who asked Where you bound on such a cold dark afternoon? And we drove on through the rain As he listened, I explained And he left me with a prayer That Id find you Kentucky rain keeps pouring down And up aheads another town that Ill be walking through With the rain in my shoes Searching for you In the cold Kentucky rain, whoa In the cold Kentucky rain, oh In the cold Kentucky rain
kentucky, rain, cold, aheads, walking
