L.a. County Lyrics - Lovett Lyle

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
