“Smoky Mountain Rain” is arguably the most loved Ronnie Milsap love song; perhaps even one of the most popular love songs overall. The tale tells of a musician tempted by the bright lights and false promises of the big city, only to find out that he belongs at home with his love. He calls to tell her he is coming home, only to find she has left him. He sets off to find her, through the smoky mountain rain, hitching a ride partway home with a trucker who listens to his sad story. The lovelorn man recognizes her need for companionship, but cannot let her go; he resolves to find her, no matter what it takes. Copyright 2009, Country Music Love Songs. All Rights Reserved.
