It was a cold rainy day
when she walked out that door
and told her Mama she needed some time.
She went through the yard
and started walking away
and now she's going down that Gray County Line.
Well she walked in the rain for miles that night
Just going down that Gray County Line.
Well her Mama stayed up waiting
for her girl to come home
and she prayed the lord would keep her alright.
But that girl couldn't think of turnin' around,
she just kept going down that gray county line
Well she walked in the rain
for miles that night
just going down that gray county line.
But the wind and the rain are blowing around
that little girl with her eyes on the ground
Well she knows her mama loves her
and she can hear her heart cryin'
but she keeps going down that Gray County Line
Well she walked in the rain for miles and miles
just going down that Gray County Line
But she has no destination, got no place in mind
she just keeps goin down that Gray County Line
