Verse 1:
Like a deer in the headlights, I stood f
rozen in my tracks
And the w
eight of the news, It nearly broke my b
ack
It was late september, and I rem
ember oh so well
I put a r
ose in the bible and placed it on my s
helf
Chorus:
Now when it r
ains, it p
ours
Wish I di
dnt know now the things I never knew bef
ore
Now when it r
ains, it p
ours
Wish I di
dnt know now the things I never knew bef
ore
Verse 2:
Back then when we were 17
Time was on our side
Holes in our jeans and a pocket full of dreams
The f
uture was Friday night
And we would h
angout down by the riverbend
Singing our favorite songs
Laughin and drinkin, smokin and smilin
Now those days are gone
Now when it r
ains, it p
ours
Wish I d
idnt know now the things I never knew bef
ore
Now when it r
ains, it p
ours
Wish I d
idnt know now the things I know for s
ure
Like a deer in the headlights, I stood fr
ozen in my tracks
And the w
eight of you not here nearly broke my b
ack
And the t
ears they fell like a monsoon
Undern
eath the cold fall moon
Some
how God put his hands on your shoulders
W
ay too, way too soon
Now when it r
ains, it p
ours
Wish I d
idnt know now the things I never knew bef
ore
Now when it r
ains, it p
ours
Wish I d
idnt know now
No I didnt know now
What I knew before
