Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like a deer in headlights, I stood frozen in my tracks
In 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
[Verse 2]
And now when it rains, it pours
I wish I didn't know now the things I never knew before
And now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didn't know now the things I never knew before
[Verse 3]
Back then when we was seventeen, time was on our side
Holes in our jeans, a pocket full of dreams, the future was Friday night
And we were hangin' down by the river bed, singin' our favorite songs
Laughin' and drinkin', smokin' and smilin', now those days are gone
[Verse 4]
When it rains, it pours
Wish I didn't know now the things I never knew before
And now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didn't know now the things I now know for sure
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 5]
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
Somehow God put His hands on your shoulders way too, way too soon
[Verse 6]
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
(Rains, it pours) Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah
When it rains, rains, yeah, it pours
Ooh, ooh, oh, yeah
