Well they did not say much but one year later he’d asked her to be his wife

When you’re 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 A  County, they look like diamonds in the sky
When you’re 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 A  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 altar 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 A  County look like diamonds in the sky
            Cadd9           G             D                  G
When you’re kneeling at the altar with an old friend at your side
And the lights of A  County are a mighty pretty sight
When you’re kneeling at the altar with an old friend at your side
