Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Got on board a Westbound 747

Didn't think before decidin' what to do

Oh, that talk of opportunities

TV breaks and movies

Rang true, sure rang true

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Out of work, I'm out of my head

Out of self-respect, I'm out of bread

I'm underloved, I'm underfed, I wanna go home

[Chorus]

It never rains in California

But girl, don't they warn ya

It pours, man, it pours

[Verse 3]

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?

Had offers but don't know which one to take

Please don't tell them how you found me

Don't tell them how you found me

Gimme a break, give me a break

[Chorus]

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
