L.A. County Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Lacrossedragon 

Cover art for L.A. County lyrics by Lyle Lovett

I classic love revenge song. The Protagonists' lady friend leaves him. He drives to LA with his loaded .45 (his old friend). He crashes his ex's wedding by simply waiting for them to say "I do" and turn around. He promptly kills them (.45 told them goodbye).

I assume he bows his head as a sign of respect/forgiveness at the alter near the end.
