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 
               G                            Cadd9              D               G 
Well I did not say much, I just stood there watching as that .45 told them goodbye 
 
 
        Cadd9        G                D               G 
And the lights of LA County look like diamonds in the sky 
          Cadd9           G             D                  G 
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
