When It Rains

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
