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 ...      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      I'm 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 didn'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      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
