Snatch of lyrics...any ideas?

[maharetr]

Heard on 6EBA's late night cycle of songs:
a man's deep voice, with a slow guitar (finger picking?)

Lyrics (paraphrased somewhat):
"There's a madman out on the highway, going on a killing spree...
God bless the rain, and god bless the train. God bless the warm sunshine, and god bless the pain"

I've tried Googling with no luck.
Any ideas, anyone?

This could be Chris Smither, he's great with lyrics like that, although I don't specifically recognise those lyrics, or a variant on them.
