1. 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
R: Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before
Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before
2. 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 riverbend, singing our favorite songs
Laughin and drinkin, smokin and smilin, now those days are gone
R: Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before
Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now the things I know for shore
3. 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
R: Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before
Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now no I didnt know now what I knew before
