LIZZIE AND THE RAINMAN
Tanya Tucker


He came riding in on the sunrise
on 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 one hundred dollars
I bet ya I can make it rain

Step back non-believers 
Or the rain will never come
Someone start that fire a burnin 
Somebody beat the drum
He said some my think I'm crazy
To make all these claims
But I swear before this day is over
You folks are gonna see some rain

They all just stood there starin
Tryin to believe
But there was one named Lizzie Cooper
Who said he was a lyin cheat

She said you call yourself a rainman
Well you ought'a be ashamed
For starting all these people dreamin
Thinkin you can make it rain

2nd chorus:
Step back non-believers or the rain 
will never come
Someone keep that fire a burnin
Somebody beat the drum
He said 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

Hey Lizzie well a man's 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 write your name
And if you still think I'm lyin to you
Looky there yonder there comes the rain
