It Never Rains in Southern California    

Albert Hammond

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

(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

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

(Chorus)

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it

Had offers but didn'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
