Willie Nelson - Mendocino County Line lyrics

Counted the stars on the 4th of July Wishing they were rockets bursting into the sky Talking about redemption and leaving things behind As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line As fierce as Monday morning feeling washed away Our orchestrated paradise couldn't make you stay You dance with the horses through the sands of time As the sun sinks west of the Mendocino County Line I have these pictures and I keep these photographs To remind me of a time These pictures and these photographs Let me know I'm doin' fine I used to make you happy once upon a time But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line The two of us together felt nothin' but right Feeling you near immortal every Friday night Lost in our convictions left stained with wine As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line I have these pictures and I keep these photographs To remain me of a time These pictures and these photographs Let me know I'm doin' fine I used to make you happy once upon a time But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line I don't talk to you too much these days I just thank the lord pictures don't fade I spent time with an angel just pa**ing through Now all that's left is this image of you Counted the stars on the 4th of July Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky Talking about redemption and leaving things behind I have these pictures and I keep these photographs To remind me of a time These pictures and these photographs Let me know I'm doin' fine We used to be so happy once upon a time Once upon a time But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
