Lyrics

Got on board a west bound seven forty seven
Didn't think before deciding what to do
All that talk of opportunities
TV breaks and movies
Rang true, oh, it sure rang true
Seems it never rains in Southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya
It pours, man, it pours
I'm out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
I'm under loved, I'm under fed
I wanna go home
It never rains in California
But girl don't they warn ya
It pours, oh, man, it pours
Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?
I had offers but I don't know which one to take
Please, don't tell them how you found me
Don't tell them how you found me
Give me a break, oh, give me a break
Seems it never rains in Southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya
It pours, oh, man, it pours
