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
