You came riding in on the sunrise
On a hot west Texas day
With 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 dollar
I bet you, I could make it rain

Step back non-believers
Or the rain will never come
Someone start that fire burning
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"

They all just stood there staring
Trying to believe
But there was one named Lizzy Cooper
Who said, "He was a lying cheat"
She said, "You call yourself the Rainman
Well, you ought to be ashamed
Starting all these people dreaming
Thinking you can make it rain"

"Step back non-believers
Or the rain will never come
Someone keep that fire burning
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 Lizzy
Well, a man's gotta have a dream
And if you can't walk on the inside with me
I'll meet you in between
Oh, come with me Lizzy
And the stars will write your name
And if you still think I'm lying to you
Look yonder there comes the rain"

"Step back non-believers
Or the rain will never come
Someone keep that fire burning
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"

"Step back non-believers
Or the rain will never come
Someone keep that fire burning
Somebody beat the drum"
