Got on board a westbound seven forty seven   Didn't think before deciding what to do   Ooh, 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      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   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, give me a break      CHORUS
