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
