Hello,
I hope someone can help me. I am in search of the lyrics for the
song done by Tanya Tucker called "Lizzy and the rainman". I have
searched all kinds of sites and have not been able to find the right
sight and the right songs by her. If anyone out there has the lyrics
from an old tape or cd that would like to share it please reply here.
Thank you very much.

After I started singing this thing to myself and realizing I had a few gaps,
*I* did a darn good search as well and came up empty. So, here's what
I can recall from memory, hope it helps:

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'll bet you I can make it rain
[ thunder claps]

Chorus:

Step back non-believers
Or the rain will never come
Someone get that fire a'burnin'
Somebody beat that drum
Now 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"

[missing a verse here]

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 lying to you
Look a'yonder here comes some rain

Cheers,

TD
