When It Rains
Wilson Gretchen Lyrics

When it rains I pour a couple more rounds
When life gets tough and it seems like nothing is going right, I turn to drinking more alcohol.

'Til the hurtin' and the heartache start to drown
I drink until I can't feel the pain and sorrow anymore.

I turn out the light, I turn up Dwight
In my dark moments, I find solace in listening to the music of Dwight Yoakam.

And I lock my door when it rains
I isolate myself from the world when things get tough.

When life ain't going my way
When everything seems to be going wrong in my life.

And I can't take one more day of gray
When everything seems dull and hopeless.

Hey hey it's OK
I reassure myself that everything will be fine in the end.

I don't need a dose of Dr. Phil
I don't need advice from a TV therapist to feel better.

I don't need your make it all better pill
I don't need anyone else's solution to my problems.

When I'm low
When I am feeling down and depressed.

Don't you know, don't you know
Can't you see that I am struggling?

I don't have to have a girls night out
I don't need to go out with my friends to feel better.

Or runaround with a rowdy crowd to get down
I don't need to engage in reckless behavior to forget my problems.

Whiskey bent and hell bound
I may drink a lot, but I am not a bad person.

When I feel like I ain't got a friend
When I feel isolated and alone.

I just call on my old buddy Jim again
I turn to drinking whiskey to feel comforted.

And again I like him
I find solace in drinking whiskey.

Oh don't you know
Can't you see that I am hurting?

When it rains
When life gets tough.

When it rains
When things seem to be going wrong.

I pour
I turn to drinking for comfort.
