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?

Tell em I Had offers but didn't know which one to take

Bu' please don't tell them 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 pour
