I was at garner state park a few years ago and danced with a beautiful girl to this song and saw her every night. unfortuneately i never worked up the courage to get her number. a year later i went back and we recognized each other. We fished and hiked together the entire week. We are going back again this spring break to see eachother! If she didn't live so far away I'd make her mine. This song brings back so many memories!
My family has horses we love riding them especially on the beaches and on the trails.everytime i hear this song it reminds me of every ride we ever took.GOOD TIMES GOOD TIMES
I wanted to ride a horse, and then ride it through a county, city, or town. Also Listen to this song as I ride the horse too. Two are very good together. I have so much respect for Willie and Lee Ann. Love this song so much.
you know willie remembers back in the day a dime bag costing a dime and a quarter bag costing a quarter, and you could go to the movies fore 50 cents and that included your drink and popcorn..not to mention his school days goin to school and coming home both ways uphill......
They can't be singing about Mendocino County, CA you geographically retarded idiots! Listen to the words, "The sun sank west of the mendocino county line". Mendocino county doesn't have a western county line...its in the ocean, why would they call it the "county line". Maybe the're singing about an adjacent county. Anyway, who cares?
@MrRedwoodvalley who refers to a county line in the middle of an ocean? Also, mredwoodvalley, I don't even consider you being from Mendocino County...youre too close to Lake County!!! Hahaha!
@PhnxCaller. I heard this song all my twenty one years of life. And I still love it. Willie and LeeAnn are the best two singers. Next to so many that I grew up with. They would put Faith and Tim a run for their money lol. Of course they are talking about the sun. Listen to a girl that had heard this so all her life.
The pairing of country's elder statesman with a beautiful up-and-coming star may have been a marketing ploy by a bunch of slick suits, but it works brilliantly. The song is characterized by its restraint. Neither Willie nor Lee Ann go overboard with their vocals, and the song as a whole has a wonderful, quietly melancholic atmosphere.
Anyone notice an excessive amount of steam coming out of Willie's mouth at the end of the song.... Oh well I love this song and OMG Lee Ann Womack is so so so HAWT!
i really don't care what county you are from--people party all over the united states. this song is sung by two texans--but the real genious is the writer of this song. it's not about smoking dope--it's about relationships and how they start out with a bang but somehow diminsish w/ time.
@robandrene@trucknutz i'm from cny too...suburb east of 'cuse :) and i'm looking at grad schools in cali...funny. i love this song, willie and lee ann's voices are amazing together

@trucknutz1 Where in upstate are you from? We live in Watertown....north of Syracuse......and bless you living in Northern Cal.....its truly God's country.....especially Placerville and Mendocino.....lawds knows....I miss my home state....
im from mendo and yeah its a nice place and all but willie is known for smoking weed, lots of it... Mendocino County is where its at so im pretty sure willie is talking about the weed he would smoke from Mendocino County and how it would make them "filling every moral every friday night" :P
@whynotsenor I don't know. Maybe they picked Mendocino county because it borders the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Coast is the furtherest place West in the continental United States. The sun sinking west is a metaphor. I always thought it was symbolic for a good thing (e.g. the day in the metaphor) giving way to something cold and dark (e.g. the night in the metaphor). Why pick Mendocino County instead of any other county? It's fun to say...
This song makes me home sick for my native California....I'm a native northern California boy......raised to hug trees and eat berrries..........If you believe that's what we do, get a life morons.
GREAT song! Willie Nelson can do no wrong, and Miss Womack is fine on this too. I read some of the comments below, and just wanted to share that I had the pleasure to see Willie several years ago - he's exceptionally nice to his fans- it was a chance passing, only for a few minutes, but I will never forget it- I've been a fan for many years, and knowing he's a really nice guy only makes me admire him more. Thanks for great memories, Willie.
If I could spend the day with one star/singer it would be Willie Nelson...The stories he could tell. I would not even mind smoking a few with the best....
If they are singing about Mendocino California then they are singing about a wonderful, almost magical place. And I am not referring to the dope they grow, the attitude is what I loved, and of course the scenery. Great job Willie and Lee Ann. Danke.
Thanks for putting this song on here. I first took a great liking to it when i heard it while spending the summer miles from anywhere up in the Rockies. I Never hear it on the radio these days. Thanks
