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 want to 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
