(Eddie Rabbit - Dick Heard)

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
|
