Surprised disovery today that we had neglected Lyle Lovett for this long. Now we find ourselves with a month of Sundays featuring the great Lyle Lovett on Durham Cool. A just outcome for a worthy musician. Do you remember the first time you listened to Pontiac Lyle’s first album? I do as it was the summer of my senior year of high school where I spent just about every weekend at cascadilla Creek and a place called flat Rock, reading the latest Thomas McGuane or Don Delillo. Pontiac was one of the first cassettes I listened to on my new Sony Walkman while the creek flowed on by.

Lyle Lovett – LA County
With an old friend by her side
Well he did not say much
But one year later
He’d ask her to be his wife
Look like diamonds in the sky
When you’re driving through the hours
With an old friend at your side
With an old friend by my side
Well it did not say much
But it was a beauty
Of a coal black .45
Look like diamonds in the sky
When you’re driving through the hours
With an old friend at your side
And I drove on through the night
And I thought of her a’waiting
For to be his blushing bride
They looked like diamonds in the sky
As I drove into the valley
With my old friend at my side
All dressed in her gown of white
Her face was bright as stars a’shining
Like I’d dreamed of all my life
And they turned around
And they saw me standing in the aisle
Well I did not say much
I just stood there watching
As that .45 told them goodbye
Look like diamonds in the sky
When you’re kneeling at the altar
With an old friend at your side
Are a mighty pretty sight
When you’re kneeling at the altar
With an old friend at your side
