Mendocino County Line Lyrics

Mendocino County Line lyrics

(Bernie Taupin/Matt Serletic)

 

 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
