She left Dallas for California with an old friend at her side Well they did not say much but one year later he?d asked her to be his wife And the lights of LA County, they look like diamonds in the sky When your drivin? through the hours with an old friend at your side Chord progression same thoughout song till end One year later I left Houston with an old friend at my side Well he did not say much but it was a beauty of a coal black .45 And the lights of LA County, they look like diamonds in the sky When your driving through the hours with an old friend at your side So I drove on all the day long and I drove on through the night and I thought of her awaiting for to be his blushing bride And the lights of LA County they look like diamonds in the sky As I drove in to the valley with my old friend at my side And as she stood there at the alter all dressed in her gown of white Lord, her face was bright as the stars a-shining, like I dreamed of all my life And they kissed each other and they turned around and saw me standing in the aisle Well I did not say much, I just stood there watching as that .45 told them goodbye And the lights of LA County look like diamonds in the sky When your kneeling at the alter with an old friend at your side And the lights of LA County are a mighty pretty sight When your kneeling at the alter with an old friend at your side
