When It Rains

Like a deer in headlights, I stood frozen in my tracks And the weight of the news, it nearly broke my back It was late September and I remember, oh, so well Put a rose in the Bible and placed it upon my shelf Now when it rains, it pours Wish I didn't know now, the things I never knew before Now when it rains, it pours Wish I didn't know now, the things I never knew before Back then when we were 17, time was on our side Holes in our jeans, a pocket full of dreams, the future was Friday night And we would hang out down by the river bend singing our favorite songs Laughing and drinking, smoking and smiling, now those days are gone When it rains, it pours Wish I didn't know now, the things I never knew before Now when it rains, it pours Wish I didn't know now, the things I now know for sure, ooh, yeah Like a deer in headlights, I stood frozen in my tracks And the weight of you not here nearly broke my back And my tears, they fell like a monsoon underneath the cold fall moon And somehow God put his hands on your shoulders way too, way too soon When it rains, it pours Wish I didn't know now, the things I never knew before Now when it rains, it pours Wish I didn't know now, no, I didn't know now what I knew before When it rains, oh, it pours Wish I didn't know now, no, I didn't know now what I knew before Oh hey, yeah, oh, oh yeah, oh, oh yeah, oh, ooh yeah When it rains, rains, yeah, it pours, ooh, ooh, oh yeah
