Got on aboard a west bound seven forty seven Didn't think before deciding what to do All that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies Rang true, sure rang true Seems it never rain 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 under loved, I'm under fed I wanna go home, 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 them how you found me Don't tell them how you found me Give me 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

We walked to the sea Just my father and me And the dogs played around on the sand Winter cold cut the air Hangin' still everywhere Dressed in gray, did he say hold my hand I said, love's easier when it's far away We sat and watched a distant light We're two ships that pass in the night We both smile and we say it's alright We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight Like those ships that pass in the night There's a boat on the line Where the sea meets the sky There's another that rides far behind And it seems you and I Are like strangers, a wide ways apart As we drift on through time He said, it's harder now, we're far away We only read you when you write We're two ships that pass in the night And we smile when we say it's alright We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight Like those ships that pass in the night We're just ships that pass in the night And we smile when we say it's alright We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight Like those ships that pass in the night

Mamma can you hear me Mamma can you hear me I'm going to be a farmer Blowing the fields in the morning sun I'll have a million horses Take me a ride when the work is done I'm going to have a sweet life Sweetest life you ever seen And when the day is over Going to go to sleep in the field of green Mamma can you hear me Mamma can you hear me Daddy do you know what I mean Mamma can you hear me Mamma can you hear me Daddy do you know what I mean Going to be a actor Playing a part in a light of gold Oh yes I will I'm going to make a lot of money Going to spend it all before I get to old And I'm going to have a sweet life Sweetest life you ever seen And you know when the day is over now I'm going to go to sleep in a field of green Mamma can you hear me Mamma can you hear me Daddy do you know what I mean (Repeat) Got, got to have a sweet life Got to have a sweet life Daddy do you know what I mean Mamma can you hear me Mamma can you hear me Mamma can you hear me Daddy do you know what I mean
