[Verse 1: Willie Nelson]
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

[Verse 2: Lee Ann Womack]
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

[Chorus: Willie Nelson, Lee Anne Womack, Willie Nelson & Lee Anne Womack]
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 doing fine
I used to make you happy once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line

[Verse 3: Willie Nelson, Lee Anne Womack, Willie Nelson & Lee Anne Womack ]
The two of us together felt nothing 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
[Chorus: Willie Nelson, Lee Anne Womack, Willie Nelson & Lee Anne Womack]
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 doing fine
I used to make you happy once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line

[Bridge: Lee Anne Womack]
I don't talk to you too much these days
Well, 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

[Verse 4: Willie Nelson]
Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind

[Outro: Lee Anne Womack, Willie Nelson, Willie Nelson & Lee Anne Womack ]
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 doing 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
[Outro: Lee Anne Womack, Lee Anne Womack & Willie Nelson, Willie Nelson]
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino county line
Mendocino county line
Mendocino county line
Mendocino county line
