Luckenbach, Texas (Back To The Basics Of Love)

(album: Ol' Waylon - 1977)

The only two things in life
That make it worth living
Is guitars to tune good
And firm feeling women

I don't need my name in the marquis lights
I got my song and I got you with me tonight
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're living
Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys

Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Newbury's train songs
And blue eyes crying in the rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas
Ain't nobody feeling no pain

So baby let's sell your diamond ring
Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away
This coat and tie is choking me
In your high society you cry all day

We've been so busy
Keeping up with the Jones
Four car garage and we're still building on
Maybe it's time we got
Back to the basics of love

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're living
Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys

Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Newbury's train songs
And blue eyes crying in the rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas
Ain't nobody feeling no pain

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Willie and Waylon and the boys
This successful life we're living
Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys

Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Jerry Jeff's train songs
And blue eyes crying in the rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas
There ain't nobody feeling no pain
