When It Rains It Pours

Got out of bed about 3 PM thought it was a holiday Then my boss called just to tell me I'm late and he's giving my job away Well I took me a walk to the liquor store so I could drink away my blues Spent my last ten bucks, then I dropped the bottle and I broke it all over my shoes So I got home to find the power's shut off, there was someone knocking at my door It was my landlord serving an eviction notice 'cause my checks are bouncing off the floor I pounded my head up against the wall thinking what else could go wrong But this was only the beginning to a real bad day, it wasn't gonna be a lot of fun [Sub-Chorus] I knew I should have never gotten out of bed 'Cause of the rain cloud above my head I'm down on my luck and it's plain to see So tell me why does this happen to me? [Chorus]: When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours on me When it rains it pours, and there's a storm front moving in on me When it rains it pours, raining down on only me When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours I drove across town to go see a friend when I heard a siren on my tail It turned out I had a warrant for my arrest and I couldn't even post the bail So I'm sittin' in a cell for 48 hours keepin' company with thieves and drunks I'm free to go but my car's impounded and I'm thinkin' 'bout becoming a monk So I'm wandering aorund in a catatonic daze now barely a shell of a man I look like I live out of a shopping cart and I'm picking up aluminum cans I staggered my way to an overpass and fell to the dirt asleep I figured out tomorrow is a new day and maybe I could buy myself a life real cheap [Sub-Chorus] I knew I should have never gotten out of bed 'Cause of the rain cloud above my head I'm down on my luck and it's plain to see So tell me why does this happen to me? [Chorus]: When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours on me When it rains it pours, and there's a storm front moving in on me When it rains it pours, raining down on only me When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours
