G
C
She left Dallas for California
G
C
with an old friend at her side
G
Bailey did not say much,
C
but one year later he asked
G
C
her to be his bride
G
C
One year later, I left Houston
G
C
with an old friend at my side
G
Well, he did not say much,
C
but he was the beauty of
G
C
a cold black 45
G
C
And the lights of L .A. County
G
C
look like diamonds in the night
G
C
When you're drivin' through the hours
G
C
With an old friend at your side
G
C
So I drove on all the day long
G
C
And I drove on through the night
G
C
And I thought of her and waited
G
C
For the day is blushing bright
G
C
And the lights of L .A. County
G
C
Look like diamonds in the night
G
C
As I drove in to the valley
G
C
With my old friend at my side
G
C
As she stood there at the altar
G
C
All dressed in her gown of white
G
Lord, her face was bright
C
as the stars a -shinin'
G
C
I got dreamed of all my life
G
They kissed each other,
C
they turned around and
G
C
Saw me standing in the aisle
G
Well, I did not say much,
C
just that they're watchin'
D
G
As that .45 told them goodbye
C
G
And the lights of L .A. County
D
G
look like diamonds in the night
C
G
When you're kneeling at the altar
D
G
with an old friend at your side
C
G
And the lights of L .A. County
D
G
are a mighty pretty sight
C
G
When you're kneeling at the altar
D
G
C
G
With an old friend at your side
L.A. County
