Man you should have seen me way back then
I could tell a tale I could make it spin
I could tell you black was white
I could tell you day was night.
Not only that I could tell you why
Back then I could really tell a lie
Well, I`d hire a kid to say he was lame
Then I`d touch him and I make him walk again.
Then I`d pull some magic trick
I`d pretend to heal the sick
I was takin` everything they had to give
It wasn`t all that bad a way to live.
Well, I`m in this desert town and it`s hot as hell
But no one`s buyin` what I got to sell
I make my lame kid walk
I make a dumb guy talk.
I`m preachin` up a storm both night and day
But everyone just turns and walks away
Well, I can see that I`m only wasting time
So I head across the road to drink some wine.
This old man comes up to me he says I seen you on the street
You`re pretty good if I do say so myself
But the guy comes through here last month
He was somethin` else.
Instead of callin` out for fire from above
He just gets real quiet and talks about love
And I`ll tell you somethin` funny
He didn`t want nobody`s money.
Now I`m not exactly sure
What this all means
But it`s the damnest thing
I swear I`ve ever seen.

Well, since that time every town is the same
I can`t make a dime I don`t know why I came
I decide I`ll go and find him
And find out who`s behind him.
He has everyone convinced that he`s for real
Well, I figure we can work us out a deal
So he offers me a job and I say fine
He says I`ll get paid off on down the line.
Well, I guess I`ll string along
Don`t see how too much can go wrong
As long as he pays my way I guess I`ll follow
