He came riding in on a sunrise A hot west Texas day A fancy man in a painted wagon Some fancy things to say Looks like you folks'll need some water Well water is my game For the small price of a hundred dollars I bet you I can make it rain So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come Someone start a fire burning, somebody beat the drum Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims But I swear before the day is over your folks'll see some rain They all just stood a staring trying to believe But there was one named Lizzy Cooper said he was a lying cheat She said you call yourself a rainman, well you oughta be ashamed For starting all these people dreaming thinking you can make it rain So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims But I swear before the day is over your folks'll see some rain Oh Lizzy, a man's gotta have a dream And if you can walk on the inside with me I'll meet you in between Come with me Lizzy And the stars'll write your name And if you still think I'm lying to you Look yonder here comes the rain So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims But I swear before the day is over your folks'll see some rain So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims But I swear before the day is over your folks'll see some rain
