Lyric

Got on a board 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.
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 under loved /I'm under fed/I wanna go home/It never rains in California/But girl don'
