Ronnie Milsap's Song Chosen as Newest Tennessee State Song

Ronnie-Milsap
The Tennessee House Budget Subcommittee unanimously approved Ronnie Milsap’s “Smoky Mountain Rain” as the state’s newest official song. The decision was made during their final meeting last week.
 
“Smoky Mountain Rain,” written by Nashville songwriters Kye Fleming and Dennis Morgan, tells the story of an enduring love of a Tennessee sweetheart and the storyteller’s yearning to return to Tennessee and the Great Smoky Mountains in search of her.
 
Tennessee already has seven official state songs, which is more than any other state. “Tennessee Waltz” and “Rocky Top” are the most famous of the seven.
