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

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 be walking through

With the rain in my shoes,

Searching for you

In the 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?



well I 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

And he listened I explained

And he left me with a prayer

That I'd find you



Kentucky rain keeps pouring down

And up ahead's another town

That I'll be walking through

With the rain in my shoes,

Searching for you

In the cold Kentucky rain! 

whoooooa...

In the cold Kentucky rain! 

whoooooa...

In the cold Kentucky rain! 

whoooooa
