Kentucky Rain Lyrics

Kentucky Rain lyrics

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 running to or from
All
I know is I want to bring you home
So I'm walking in the rain,
Thumbing
for a ride
On this lonely Kentucky backroad
I've loved you much too
long
And my love's too strong
To let you go, never knowing
What went
wrong
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up ahead's another
town
That I'll go walking thru
With the rain in my shoes,
Searchin for
you
In the cold Kentucky rain,
In the cold Kentucky rain
Showed your
photograph
To some old gray bearded man
Sitting on a bench
Outside a
gen'ral store
They said "Yes, she's been here"
But their memory wasn't
clear
Was it yesterday,
No, wait the day before
So I fin'ly got a
ride
With a preacher man who asked
"Where you bound on such a dark
afternoon?"
As we drove on thru the rain
As he listened I
explained
And he left me with a prayer
That I'd find you
