Capo 2
x2
Got on board a west bound 747
Didn't think before decidin' what to do
All that talk of opportunity, 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
Outta work, I'm outta my head
Outta self-respect, I'm outta 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
x2
Will ya 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, 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
