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

Give me a break, 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, man it pours.
