Verse 1:
Heard the story once before, a man on the run,
Through the Smoky Mountains, chasing down someone.
He’s blind as the love he lost that day,
But he’s still out there, getting soaked in the rain.

She stayed behind, back in Knoxville town,
Said she’d wait for him, but she’s long gone now.
He’s thumbing his way, through the stormy skies,
But love like that don’t come back to life.

Chorus:
Chasin’ Smoky Mountain rain, it’s a fool’s parade,
Searching for a woman who already slipped away.
Blind to the truth, but the heart still aches,
He’s chasing Smoky Mountain rain, just pouring on mistakes.

Verse 2:
She didn’t follow to Nashville, no, she stayed right here,
Too scared to chase dreams that aren’t so clear.
Maybe she thought she’d fade into the song,
Or maybe she knew she didn’t belong.

Was it jealousy, or was it pride?
She didn’t want to be just another ride.
She left him chasing shadows in Gatlinburg,
While she found her peace in Knoxville.

Chorus:
Chasin’ Smoky Mountain rain, it’s a hopeless race,
Searching for love that’s lost in time and space.
Blind to the hurt, but his feet won’t rest,
He’s chasing Smoky Mountain rain, and the storm ain’t finished yet.

Bridge:
How’s a blind man gonna find his way,
Through the rain, through the night, in the mountains so gray?
The truth is, my friend, love don’t live in the past,
But here he is, still holding fast.

Final Chorus:
Chasin’ Smoky Mountain rain, it’s a fool’s parade,
Running through the storm, but the love’s delayed.
Blind to the truth, but the heart still aches,
He’s chasing Smoky Mountain rain, just pouring on mistakes.

Yeah, chasing Smoky Mountain rain, a heartbreak too late,
And it’s washing him away, no love can stay.

Outro:
Smoky Mountain rain… falling down like his dreams,
He’s chasing that rain… but it’s never what it seems.
