Rainmaker Lyrics

(Steve Walsh / Steve Morse / Bob Ezrin)

Have you ever seen a miracle - you couldn't doubt or imitate

What's it really worth to you to shake the holy hand of fate

Well I did what I could to make ends meet

Been a gunrunner and a medicine man

In a Kansas town I was a rainmaker - there the hand of fate got out of hand

Rainmaker Rainmaker save this one horse town

Rainmaker pray to heaven

From the Flint Hills the land was cracked and dried

Thirsty streets in misery

I took the sign down that said medicine man

Put one up that said rainmaker - that was me

So the townspeople gave me money up front

To light a fire - pray, and dance around

Tell them it'd rain so they'd all go to bed

And I'd make my break clean out of town

But I started this dance and a storm kicked up

The sky went black from coast to coast

It was too late to stop - it was to late to pray

I had summoned down the Holy Ghost

Oh the searing wind and the clouds of dust

And hell came raining down

What came out of me and the powers that be

Was the last of that one horse town
