Mendocino County Line - Willie Nelson, Lee Ann Womack

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 doing 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 nothing 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 remind me of a time

These pictures and these photographs

Let me know I’m doing 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 passing 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 doing 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
