Rainmaker

Kansas

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
