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 runnin´ to or from
All I know is I want to bring you home

So I´m walkin´ in the rain
Thumbin´ for a ride
On this lonely Kentucky back road
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 aheads another town that I´ll go walkin´ 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 grey bearded men
Sitting on a bench outside a gen´ral store
They said "Yes, she´s been here"
But their mem´ry wasn´t clear
Was it yesterday? No wait, the day before

Fin´lly got a ride
With a preacher man who asked
"Where´re you bound on such a cold, dark afternoon?"
As we drove on through 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 aheads another town that I´ll go walkin´ through
With the rain in my shoes
Searching for you
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain

In the cold Kentucky rain hey hey hey
In the cold Kentucky rain
