seven lonely days
and a dozen towns ago
ı reached out one night
and you were gone
dont know why youd run,
what youre running to or from
all ı know is ı want to bring you home
so ım walking in the rain,
thumbing for a ride
on this lonely kentucky backroad
ıve loved you much too long
and my loves too strong
to let you go, never knowing
what went wrong
kentucky rain keeps pouring down
and up aheads another town
that ıll go walking thru
with the rain in my shoes,
searchin for you
ın the cold kentucky rain,
ın the cold kentucky rain
showed your photograph
to some old gray bearded man
sitting on a bench
outside a genral store
they said yes, shes been here
but their memory wasnt clear
was it yesterday,
no, wait the day before
so ı finly 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 ı explained
and he left me with a prayer
that ıd find you
