Verse 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

Chorus

 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

Verse 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

 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 sure

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 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
