[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
So, I`m walking in the rain, thumbing 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



[Chorus]
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up ahead`s another town that I`ll go walking through
With the rain in my shoes (Rain in my shoes)
Searching for you in the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain

[Verse 3]
Showed your photograph to some old gray-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"

[Verse 4]
I finally got a ride with a preacher man who asked
"Where you bound on such a cold, 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

[Chorus]
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up ahead`s another town that I`ll go walking through
With the rain in my shoes (Rain in my shoes)
Searching for you in the cold Kentucky rain

[Outro]
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
The cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
