When It Rains It Pours
Luke Combs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sunday mornin', man, she woke up fightin' mad
Bitchin' and moanin' on and on 'bout the time I had
And by Tuesday, you could say that girl was good as gone
And then when Thursday came around, I was all alone

So I went for a drive to clear my mind
Ended up at a Shell on I-65
Then I won a hundred bucks on a scratch-off ticket
Bought two twelve-packs and a tank of gas with it
She swore they were a waste of time, oh, but she was wrong
I was caller number five on the radio station
Won a four-day, three-night beach vacation
Deep sea senorita fishing down in Panama
And I ain't gotta see my ex future mother in law anymore
Oh Lord, when it rains it pours

Now she was sure real quick to up and apologize
When she heard about my new found luck on that FM dial
And it's crazy how lately now it just seems to come in waves
What I thought was gonna be the death of me was my saving grace

It's got me thinkin' that her leavin'
Is the only logical reason

That I got the last spot in the Hooter's parking lot
And the waitress left her number on my check with a heart
She picked up on the first ring when I gave her a call
And I only spent five bucks at the Moose Club raffle
Won a used four-wheeler and three free passes
For me and two of my buddies to play a round of golf
And I ain't gotta see my ex future mother in law anymore
Oh Lord, when it rains it pours
When it rains it pours

I've been on one hell of a redneck roll for three weeks now
And it all started on the day that she walked out

Then I won a hundred bucks on a scratch-off ticket
Bought two twelve-packs and a tank of gas with it
She swore they were a waste of time, oh, but she was wrong
And I was caller number five on the radio station
Won a four-day, three-night beach vacation
Deep sea senorita fishing down in Panama
And I ain't gotta see my ex future mother in law anymore




Oh Lord, when it rains it pours
When it rains it pours

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Luke Combs's song "When It Rains It Pours" tell a story of a man who experiences a sudden change in luck after his girlfriend leaves him. The song starts off with the singer waking up to his girlfriend's anger about the time he spent, and by Tuesday, she leaves him. On Thursday, he finds himself alone and decides to clear his mind by going for a drive. He ends up at a Shell station and buys a scratch-off ticket, which he wins a hundred bucks from. He then buys two twelve-packs of beer and gasoline with his winnings. This is significant because his ex-girlfriend had previously criticized him for wasting time and money on scratch-off tickets.


The singer's luck continues to change as he becomes caller number five on a radio station and wins a four-day, three-night beach vacation for deep-sea fishing in Panama. He starts to think that his girlfriend leaving him might have been the best thing that could have happened because of how much his fortune has changed since. He gets the last spot in the Hooter's parking lot and the waitress leaves her number on his check with a heart. He calls her, and she picks up on the first ring. The next day, he wins a used four-wheeler and three free passes for him and two of his buddies to play golf at a Moose Club raffle. The song ends with the singer reflecting on his newfound luck and how it all started on the day his girlfriend left.
