[G] [C] [G] [C]
Sunday [G]morning man [C]she woke up fighting [G]mad [C]
Bitching and [G]moaning on [C]and on about the time I h[G]ad [C]
and by [G]Tuesday you could say [C]that girl was good as [G]gone [C]
then when [G]Thursday came a[C]round I was all [G]alone [C]
so I [D]went for a drive to clear my mind and [C]ended up at a shell on I-65


Then I [G]won 100 bucks on a [C]scratch off ticket
Bought [G]two 12 packs and a [Em]tank of gas [C]with it
She [G]swore they were a waste of [C]time aww but she was [D]wrong
I was [G]caller #5 on [C]the radio station, won a [G]4 day 3 night [C]beach vacation
de[G]ep sea senorita fi[C]shin’ down in pan[D]ama
I ain’t gotta [C]see my ex-future mother in law [D]anymore, ohh [D]lord when it rains it [G]pours [C] [G] [C]


Now she was su[G]re real quick t[C]o up and [G]apologize [C]
when she heard [G]about my new found [C]luck on the FM [G]dial[C]
and its [G]crazy how lately now it [C]just seems to come in [G]waves[C]
what I [G]thought was gonna be the [C]death of me was my [G]saving grace [C]
its got me [D]thinking that her leaving is [C]the only logical reason


That I [G]got the last spot in the [C]hooters parking lot
And [G]the waitress left her number on my [Em]check with a [C]heart
She [G]picked up on the first [C]ring when I gave her a [D]call
And I only [G]spent 5 bucks at [C]the moose club raffle
Won a [G]used four-wheeler [C]and 3 free passes
For [G]me and two of my [C]buddies to play a round of [D]golf
I ain’t gotta [C]see my ex-future mother in law [D]anymore
Oh lord when it rains it [G]pours, [C]when it rains it [G]pours[C]


I’ve been [Am]on one hell of a [G]redneck road for 3 [C]weeks now
It all [Am]started on the [G]day that she walked [C]out


Then I [G]won 100 bucks on a [C]scratch off ticket
Bought [G]two 12 packs and a [Em]tank of gas [C]with it
She swore [G]they were a waste of[C]time aww but she was [D]wrong
I was [G]caller #5 on [C]the radio station, won a [G]4 day 3 night [C]beach vacation
De[G]ep sea senorita fi[C]shin’ down in pan[D]ama
I ain’t gotta [C]see my ex-future mother in law [D]anymore
Ohh [D]lord when it rains it [G]pours [C] [G] [C]when it rains it [G]pours[C] [G]
