(As recorded by Albert Hammond)

[00:15.87]Got on board a westbound seven-forty-seven
[00:23.49]Didn't think before deciding what to do
[00:31.78]All that talk of opportunities
[00:37.25]TV breaks and movies, rang true
[00:43.96]Sure rang true.

[00:48.70]Seems it never rains in southern California
[00:56.82]Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
[01:04.57]It never rains in California, 
[01:10.42]but girl don't they warn ya
[01:13.94]It pours, man it pours.

[01:21.69]Out of work, I'm out of my head
[01:25.85]Out of self-respect, I'm out of bread
[01:29.37]I'm under loved, I'm underfed
[01:34.25]I wanna go home
[01:37.32]It never rains in California, 
[01:42.95]but girl don't they warn ya
[01:46.96]It pours, man it pours.

[02:10.74]Will you tell the folks back home, 
[02:15.59]I nearly made it
[02:19.41]Had offers but don't know which one to take
[02:26.52]Please don't tell 'em how you found me
[02:32.00]Don't tell 'em how you found me
[02:35.62]Give me a break, give me a break.

[02:43.16]Seems it never rains in southern California
[02:51.35]Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
[02:58.88]It never rains in California, 
[03:04.30]but girl don't they warn ya
[03:08.18]It pours, man it pours.
