lyrics

The well’s been drying up, so start thinking
We’ve not been praying enough, we’ve been sinking
The town’s been down and out, so keep dreaming
If we turn to the preacher man he’ll tell us what the cure is
The crops are dying out, we need water
The cows are crying out, we need water
The whole damn town could shout, we need water
Unless we turn to the preacher man we won’t know what the cure is

My kid is sick, I help the poor
I don’t know why you people think that I got the cure
My wife’s so tired she wants a divorce
I gave you people all I had but you still want more
Money’s been tight, we’re living life on the rocks
And you think you’re doing your part with a coin in the box
Now the alcohol isn’t helping at all
So please excuse the shaking and the ceaseless calls

So pull the hymnals out, and start singing
We’ll end this awful drought, keep clinging
The rain will fill our pores, and start redeeming
All the land that we’ve been working, we will turn it into Eden
The crops are dying out, we need water
The cows are crying out, we need water
The whole damn town could shout, we need water
We have to turn to the preacher man, he’ll tell us what the cure is

Look to the man in the blue suit preaching on a Sunday
Hurling demons out, look at him he’s so devout
Man in the blue suit preaching on a Sunday
We have little doubt, he will end this awful drought

My kid is sick, I help the poor
I don’t know why you people think that I got the cure
My wife’s so tired she wants a divorce
I gave you people all I had but you still want more
Money’s been tight, we’re living life on the rocks
And you think you’re doing your part with a coin in the box
Now the alcohol isn’t helping at all
So please excuse the shaking
