He came ridin in on the sunrise of a hot west Texas day
A fancy man in a painted wagon with some fancy things to say
Looks like you folks need some water, well water is my game
And for the small price of 100 I betcha I can make it rain
Step back non believers or the rain will never come. Someone start that fire a-burning somebody beat the drum
He said some may think Im crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before this day is over you folks are gonna see some rain
They all just stood there a-staring trying to believe
But there was one named Lizzie Cooper who said he was a lying cheat
You say you call yourself a rainman, well you oughta be ashamed For starting all these people dreamin, thinking you can make it rain
Step back non believers or the rain will never come
Someone keep that fire a-burning somebody beat the drum
He said some may think Im crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before this day is over you folks are going see some rain
Hey Lizzie, well a mans got to have a dream
And if you cant walk on the inside with me, Ill meet you in between
Oh come with me Lizzie and the stars will write your name
And if you still think Im lying to you, look a younder there comes the rain
So, Step back non believers or the rain will never come
Someone keep that fire a-burning somebody beat the drum
He said some folks think Im crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before this day is over you folks are going see some rain
