Smokie -It Never Rains in Southern California
Got on board a westbound seven forty seven
I don't think before deciding what to do
Ooh that talk of opportunities
Tv breaks and movies rang true
Ooh 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
I'm 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 ooh man it pours
Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it
I had offers I don'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 ooh give me a break
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 ooh man it pours
