The Ozarks just never fail in providing gorgeous locations for our videos and Dogwood Canyon is one of the all-time greatest locations to enjoy the outdoors here. Fun fact about filming "Smoky Mountain Rain" is that a lot of other people enjoy this location and after a few takes getting photobombed by people running behind us, fishermen setting up shop in view of the camera, and groups talking loudly, Aaron just turned his cameras on and became our crowd control. Y'all. Aaron even paused a horse and buggy so we could finish this take haha!

►LYRICS - Smoky Mountain Rain
I thumbed my way from LA back to Knoxville
I found out those bright lights ain't where I belong
From a phone booth in the rain I called to tell her
I've had a change of dreams, I'm comin' home
But tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone
Smoky Mountain rain, it keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smoky Mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin'
Can't go on hurtin' this way
She's somewhere in the Smoky Mountain rain
I waved a diesel down outside a cafe
He said he was goin' as far as Gatlinburg
I climbed up in his cab all wet and cold and lonely
I wiped my eyes and I told him about her
I've got to find her, can you make these big wheels burn?
Smoky Mountain rain, it keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smoky Mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin'
Can't go on hurtin' this way
She's somewhere in the Smoky Mountain rain
Can't blame her for lettin' go
A woman needs someone warm to hold
Feel the rain runnin' down my face
I'll find her no matter what it takes
Smoky Mountain rain, it keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smoky Mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin'
Can't go on hurtin' this way
She's somewhere in the Smoky Mountain rain
She's somewhere in the Smoky Mountain rain
