"It Never Rains In Southern California" lyrics

It Never Rains In Southern California

Got on board a west bound seven
Forty seven
I don't think before deciding
What to do
All that talk of opportunities
TV breaks and movies
Rang true
Oh, it 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 you?
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 underclosed
I'm underfed
I wanna go home

It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn you?
It pours
Oh, man, it pours

Will you tell the folks back home
I nearly made it?
I've had offers but I don't know
Which one to take
Please don't tell them
How you found me
Don't tell them
How you found me
Give me a break
Oh, give me a break

It 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 you?
It pours
Man, it pours
