Lyrics

[Verse 1] He came riding 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 [Chorus] Step back, non believers Or the rain will never come Somebody start that fire a-burning Somebody beat the drum You know some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims But I swear before this day is over You folks are gonna see some rain [Verse 2] 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 Starting all these people dreaming Thinking you can make it rain [Chorus] [Bridge] Hey Lizzie Well, a mans got to have a dream And if you can't walk on the inside with me I'll meet you in between Oh, come with me, Lizzie And the stars will right your name And if you still think I'm lying to you Look yonder There comes the rain [Chorus]
