We counted the stars on the Fourth of July
Wishin' we were rockets burstin' into the sky
Talkin' about redemption... leavin' things behind
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line
As fierce as Monday mornin' feelin' washed away
I orchestrated paradise but couldn't make you stay
You dance with horses, through the sands of time
As the sun sinks west of the Mendocino county line
Chorus:
I have these pictures
I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures
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
Feelin' near immortal every Friday night
Lost in our convictions, lips stained with wine
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line
Chorus:
I have these pictures
I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures
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
We counted the stars on the fourth of July
Wishin' we were rockets burstin' into the sky
Talkin' about redemption and leavin' things behind
Chorus:
I have these pictures
I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures
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
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line
