IT NEVER RAINS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Albert Hammond - 1972


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 you
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 want to go home
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn you
It pours, man it pours

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
Give me a break, give me a break

CHORUS
