Like a deer in the 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
I put a rose in the bible
and placed it on 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 and a pocket full of dreams
The future was Friday night
And we would hangout 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 know for shore

Like a deer in the headlights
I stood frozen in my tracks
And the weight of you not here
nearly broke my back
And the tears they fell like a monsoon
Underneath the cold fall moon
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 always pours
Wish I didn't know now
no I didn't know now
what I knew before

When it rains rains
Yeah it pours
