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 seventeen
    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
    Laughin and drinkin, smokin and smilin
    Now those days are gone
    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 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

    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
    No I didn't know now
    What I knew before Writer/s: Marlon Young, Robert J. Ritchie
