Mendocino County Line Lyrics - The Great Divide - Willie Nelson

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 passing through 

Now all that's left is this image of you

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
