It Never Rains In Southern California
When Dreams Meet Reality: The Unpredictable Showers of Southern California
Lyrics
Got on board a westbound 747
Boarded a westbound 747, making a decision without much thought.
Didn't think before deciding what to do
Acted without careful consideration.
Oh, that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies
References to promises of opportunities, TV, and movies seemed genuine.
Rang true, sure rang true
The promises felt true and sincere.
Seems it never rains in southern California
Expressing the belief that it rarely rains in southern California.
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
Recalling hearing similar optimistic talk before.
It never rains in California
Reiteration of the belief that it never rains in California.
But girl, don't they warn ya?
A warning to the girl that despite beliefs, there are challenges (it pours).
It pours, man, it pours
Emphasizing the intensity of challenges (it pours).
Out of work, I'm out of my head
Describing a state of unemployment and mental distress.
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
Facing a lack of self-respect and financial struggles.
I'm underloved, I'm underfed
Feeling unloved and undernourished.
I wanna go home
Expressing a desire to return home due to hardship.
It never rains in California
Reiteration of the belief that it never rains in California.
But girl, don't they warn ya?
A warning to the girl about the challenges despite the belief (it pours).
It pours, man, it pours
Emphasizing the intensity of challenges (it pours).
Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?
Requesting to inform people at home about the almost-successful venture.
Had offers but don't know which one to take
Had job offers but uncertain which one to accept.
Please don't tell 'em how you found me
Pleading not to reveal how the speaker is currently situated.
Don't tell 'em how you found me
Reiteration of the plea not to disclose the speaker's current state.
Gimme a break, give me a break
Pleading for a break or reprieve from the current hardships.
Seems it never rains in southern California
Repeating the belief that it rarely rains in southern California.
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
Recalling hearing similar optimistic talk before.
It never rains in California
Reiteration of the belief that it never rains in California.
But girl, don't they warn ya?
A warning to the girl about the challenges despite the belief (it pours).
It pours, man, it pours
Emphasizing the intensity of challenges (it pours).
