Kentucky Rain (Take 9) 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
Thumbin' 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 keep 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 grey-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"

Finally caught a ride
With a preacher man who asked
"Where you bound on such a cold dark afternoon?"
And 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 ahead's another town
That I'll keep walking 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
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
