Luckenbach, Texas (Back To The Basics Of Love) Lyrics By Waylon Jennings

    the only two things in life that make it worth livin’
    is s that tune good and firm feelin’ women
    i don’t need my name in the marquee 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 livin’
    got us feuding like the hatfields and mccoys
    between hank williams’ pain songs and
    newbury’s train songs and blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
    out in luckenbach texas ain’t nobody feelin’ 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 keepin’ 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 livin’ got us feudin’
    like the hatfield and mccoys
    between hank williams’ pain songs and
    newberry’s train songs and blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
    out in luckenbach texas ain’t nobody feelin’ no pain

    let’s go to luckenbach texas
    with willie and waylon and the boys
    this successful life we’re livin’s got us feudin’
    like the hatfield and mccoys
    between hank williams’ pain songs
    and jerry jeff’s train songs and blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
    out in luckenbach texas there ain’t nobody feelin’ no pain
