L.A. County

[Verse 1] She left Dallas for California With an old friend at her side Well, he did not say much But one year later He'd ask her to be his wife [Chorus] And the lights of L.A. County They look like diamonds in the sky When you're driving through the hours With an old friend at your side [Verse 2] One year later, I left Houston With an old friend at my side Well, it did not say much But it was a beauty Of a coal black .45 [Chorus] And the lights of L.A. County They look like diamonds in the sky When you're driving through the hours With an old friend at your side [Verse 3] So I drove on all the day long And I drove on through the night And I thought of her waiting For to be his blushing bride [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] And as she stood there at the altar All dressed in her gown of white Lord, her face was bright as the stars a-shining Like I'd dreamed of all my life [Verse 4] 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 [Outro] 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
