Lyle Lovett - L.A. County lyrics

rate me

She left Dallas for California

With an old friend by her side

Well he did not say much

But one year later

He'd ask her to be his wife

And the lights of L.A. County

Look like diamonds in the sky

When you're driving through the hours

With an old friend at your side

One year later I left Houston

With an old friend by my side

Well it did not say much

But it was a beauty

Of a coal black .45

And the lights of L.A. County

Look like diamonds in the sky

When you're driving through the hours

With an old friend at your side

So I drove on all the day long

And I drove on through the night

And I thought of her a'waiting

For to be his blushing bride

And the lights of L.A. County

They looked like diamonds in the sky

As I drove into the valley

With my old friend at my side

And as she stood there at the altar

All dressed in her gown of white

Her face was bright as stars a'shining

Like I'd dreamed of all my life

And they kissed each other

And they turned around

And they saw me standing in the aisle

Well I did not say much

I just stood there watching

As that .45 told them goodbye

And the lights of L.A. County

Look like diamonds in the sky

When you're kneeling at the altar

With an old friend at your side

And the lights of L.A. County

Are a mighty pretty sight

When you're kneeling at the altar

With an old friend at your side
