MEDICINE MAN 
©2006 Larry Baran 
  
V.1 	Sitting back on top of the world   
	with one hand on your wallet and the other the girl  
	Looking back to the boardroom tonite   
	you had the bases all covered and the deal wrapped up tight  
	ooh there's no one to blame for blowing the whistle on your shell game.  
	ooh you've nothing to say about millions of dollars that just floated away.  
  
CHORUS 	You never thought you'd need a medicine man  
		to help you write a love letter and draw lines in the sand  
		You never thought you'd see the rainbow fade out  
		with the pot of gold melting and your time running out.  
		...a medicine man	...a medicine man  
  
V.2	Sitting back on top of the world   
	with one hand on throttle and the other the girl  
	with the pedal-to-the-metal and the seat belts tight  
	you had the playing field leveled with hardly a fight  
	ooh there's no one to blame for blowing the whistle on your shell game.  
	ooh you had the arrogant feel and the skills to hide all you could steal.  
  
CHORUS 	  
  
SPOKEN BREAK:  
In times of quiet reflection, a man has time to look into the abyss and contemplate;  
sees the pieces of his soul;  examines the life he has made for himself;  
the shame; 	greed; 		illusions; 		destiny  
  
V.3	Sitting back at the side of the road  
	With your thumb in the air and a suitcase in tow  
	Clean and sober with nowhere to go  
	They gave you 25 years to clean out your soul  
	ooh there's no one to blame for blowing the whistle on your shell game.  
	ooh still nothing to say about destroying lives, throwing their future away.  
  
You never thought you'd need a medicine man  
You never thought you'd need a medicine man  
You never thought you'd need a medicine man, did ya!?!  
You never thought you'd need a medicine man  
a medicine man, a medicine man, a medicine man, a medicine man
