When It Rains It Pours Lyrics - Force Of Habit - Exodus

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 

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? 

When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours on me 

When it rains it pours, and there's a storm 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 around 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
