A guy heads for Cali with visions of showbiz fame dancing in his head, and when he gets there, he finds that it's hard to break into the business, and sunny SoCal ain't so sunny after all- "I'm out of work, I'm out of my head/I'm out of self-respect, I'm out of bread", etc.
But he doesn't want the folks back home to know that he ended up flat busted, or that he took his own life- "Don't tell 'em how you found me."
I hadn't heard this song in years...
I think it's a suicide note.
