[Verse 1]
Got on board a westbound 747
Didn't think before decidin' what to do
All that talk of opportunities, TV breaks, and movies
Rang true, oh, it sure rang true

[Chorus]
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?
Oh, it pours, man, it pours

[Verse 2]
I'm out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self-respect, I'm out of bread
I'm underloved and underfed
And I wanna go home

[Chorus]
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
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, oh, give me a break

[Chorus]
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
