Seven lonely days
And a dozen towns ago
I reached out one night
And you were gone
I 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 back road
I've loved you much too long
My love's too strong
Just to let you go, never knowing
What went wrong

Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
Another hedge another town
That I go walking thru
With the rain in my shoes,
Searching for you
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, you'd 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
While he listened I explained
And he left me with a prayer
That I'd find you

Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
Another hedge, another town
That I go 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

I'll keep searching in the rain, girl
Until I find out the reason
Why you left me
You see, you're my life
Your love is in my soul
So I got to just keep on searching
Until I find you
