Smokie - It Never Rains in Southern California

Got on aboard a west bound seven forty seven

Didn't think before deciding what to do

All 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

I'm out of work, I'm out of my head

Out of self respect, I'm out of bread

I'm under loved, I'm under fed

I wanna go home, it never rains in California

But girl don't they warn ya, it pours, man, it pours

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?

I had offers but 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, 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...
