Kentucky Rain (Takes 5-7)

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

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

In the cold Kentucky rain

In the cold Kentucky rain
