Got on board a westbound seven forty seven Didn't think before deciding what to do All that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies Rang true, 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. Out of work, I'm out of my head Out of self respect, I'm out of bread I'm under loved, I'm underfed I wanna go home. It never rains in California but, girl, don't they warn ya It pours, man, it pours. 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 'em how you found me, don't tell 'em how you found me Gimme a break, gimme 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, man, it pours.
