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      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 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
