 Got on border west bound seven-forty-seven,

 Didn't think before decided what to do.

 Oh, they talk of opertunity,

 TV-breaks and movies, rank through, sure and 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 you

 it warms, man it warms

 Out of work, I'm out of my head,

 Out of self respect, I'm out of breath.

 I'm on the run down on the fair, I wanna go home.

 It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn you

 it warms, man it warms

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

 Eight offers, but don't know which one to take.

 Please don't tell'em how you found me,

 Don't tell'em how you found me.

 Gimme a breath, gimme a breath.

 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 warms, man it warms
