When It Rains It Pours
COMBS Luke 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 of Luke Combs' song "When It Rains It Pours" tell a story of unexpected fortune and newfound happiness following a breakup. The song starts with the singer's ex-girlfriend waking up angry on a Sunday morning, complaining about his past actions, and by Tuesday, she has left him. However, as the week progresses, the singer experiences a string of fortunate events.


The lyrics describe how the singer goes for a drive to clear his mind and ends up at a Shell gas station on I-65. Here, he unexpectedly wins one hundred dollars on a scratch-off ticket, which allows him to buy two twelve-packs of beer and fill up his gas tank.

The song concludes by emphasizing the ongoing streak of good luck, stating that the singer has been on a "redneck roll" for three weeks. He restates the earlier sequence of fortunate events, including the scratch-off ticket win, the radio station win, and the mention of the beach vacation.
