/ Key of "Bm" Intro: Got on board a west bound 747 Didn't think before decidin' what to do All that talk of opportunity, ?tv breaks and movies? Ring 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 But it pours, man it pours I'm outta work, I'm outta my head Outta self-respect, I'm outta bread I'm underloved and underfed I wanna go home It never rains in California But girl, don't they warn ya But it pours, man it pours --Solo-> 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 And don't tell 'em how you found me Gimme a break, give me a break --Repeat Chorus --Outro: (fades out)
