Rainmaker
Bruce Springsteen
Intro: Parched crops dying ’neath a dead sun We’ve been praying but no good comes The dog’s howling’s bare We’ve been but now we’re scared People come comfort or just to come Taste the dark sticky potion or hear the drums Hands raised to Yahweh to bring the rain down He comes crawlin’ ’cross the dry fields like a dark shroud Rainmaker a little faith for hire Rainmaker the house is on fire Rainmaker take ev you have Sometimes folks need to b in something so bad so bad so bad They’ll hire a rainmaker (rainmaker) Rainmaker says white’s black and black’s white Says night’s day and day’s night Says close your eyes and go to sleep now I’m in a burnin’ field unloadin’ buckshot into low clouds Rainmaker a little faith for hire Rainmaker the house is on fire Rainmaker take ev you have Sometimes folks need to b in something so bad so bad so bad They’ll hire a rainmaker (rainmaker) Slow moving wagon drawing through a dry town Painted rainbow crescent moon and dark clouds Brother patriot come forth and lay it down Your blood brother for king and crown for your rainmaker Instrumental:
