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
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
Gimme 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!
