Albert Hammond - It Never Rains In Southern California Lyrics






Got on board a westbound seven forty seven
Didn't think before deciding what to do
Ooh, 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 underloved, I'm underfed, I wanna go home
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

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

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it
Had 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 break, 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, man it pours

    It is hard to believe how far we have come from this great simple music. But never think the death of good music like this was not on purpose.

    I can still recall the day the bright red Georgia Clay and how it's stuck to the tires after the summer rain.

    Great being of an age ,that you don't need to know any of the new songs being released . When you have this treasure trove of great music and hits of the past to contend with folks

  39. H.... S....

    Suveränt framförande!!!!

  40. A.... D....

    Mitico grazie della tua musica

  42. F.... X....

    It rains feces on the sidewalks in southern California now.

    F.... X....

    Maybe instead of being critical of the homeless u should smething to help the situation,hope u never fi d urself in that situation.

    F.... X....

    @Jose Caballero I'm critical of the wealthy and the system that created the situation. I spent 10 years in and out of homeless shelters. Why isn't Nancy Pelosi doing anything for the poor in San Francisco? She's responsible for that District. If I was homeless I'd go to the bathroom in public too. I don't blame them I blame the society that doesn't care for it's poor. I'd like to help the situation but I'm powerless to do so at the moment. It seems like nobody cares about the poor in Los Angeles.

    F.... X....

    Find it odd u blame Nancy for the homeless problem,if anyone is trying th help them is us sjws,think repukes or gop,are the ones cutting social programs,try again.

  43. V.... R....

    im 56 years old,i was born in Chile south America,left the country when i was 10 years old never to go back.i remembered quite a few songs (in Spanish) from when i was little in Chile.only a few months ago i realized that quite a few of those songs were sang by this great singer.i had no idea that it was him on the radio and singing with no accent whatsoever! He was very popular in Chile. one great song sang by him is "hechame a mi la culpa" I didn't know this great singer was part of my "musical" memories.Music was a great escape from all the crap that was going on. Now i can be thankful partly to this great man. My respect and greetings to all who read this. :)

  87. I.... P....

    That girl they showed a few time that's right in front of him she's so beautiful
