Paragraph Lyric
(In the Still of the Night)

I thumbed my way from LA back to Knoxville
I found those bright lights aint where I belonged
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

CHORUS
Smoky Mountain rain, it 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 in the Smoky Mountain rain

I waved a diesel down outside a cafe
He said 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
"To find her can you make these big wheels burn"?

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

CHORUS
(In the Still of the Night)      I thumbed my way from LA back to Knoxville   I found those bright lights aint where I belonged   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      CHORUS   Smoky Mountain rain, it 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 in the Smoky Mountain rain      I waved a diesel down outside a cafe   He said 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   "To find her can you make these big wheels burn"?      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      CHORUS
