Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we 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 near immortal
every Friday night
Lost in our convictions
lips stained with wine
As the sun sank 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
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 into 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
Mendocino County Line
Mendocino County Line
