It Never Rains in Southern California

Got on board a westbound seven forty-seven Didn't think before deciding what to do 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
