and go Back to California where it's warm

It fell around you like the stars
You picked up everything they dropped
And though it breaks you like a song (?)
You had some secrets of your own
[Chorus]
And though it breaks your heart
You had to sell the farm
Back to California where it's warm
It's warm
It's warm
[Chorus]
And though it breaks your heart
You had to sell the farm
Nights were just too long
With all your children gone
Would it keep you strong
If I said it with a song?
Back to California where it's warm
