Story Behind The Song
Got caught in an afternoon rain in Van Nuys waiting for a session to start. It's about the creative floodgates opening up when I go to LA to record.

Lyrics
California Rain
by Just Like Inara (aka John Aulabaugh)
Sitting in the dark my love
It's like it's never rained before today
Sit back and relax this time
We're going nowhere, going nowhere fast
California's sunny every day
A scent of rain we found along the way
Was the rain
Trippin' overzelous friend
It's like we've never lived before today
Take stride and enjoy the ride
You know I've never lost, but gave away
California sonny, won't you play?
Spend the rain and wash it all away
For the rain
The rain
Come again
For the rain
For the rain
Sleepy Sunday afternoon
If I could only know what is next
As I looked up the rain was all around
California rain don't let me down
For the rain
The rain
Come again
For the rain
For the rain
