Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

Counted the stars on the 4th of July 
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

Scarce as as Monday morning feeling washed away 
I 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 doing fine

I use to make you happy once upon a time 
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

The two of us together felt nothing but right
Feeling we're 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 doing fine

I use 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 doing fine

We use 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 
Mendocino County Line
