Luckenbach, Texas (Back To the Basics Of Love) Waylon Jennings Words and Music by Chips Moman and Bobby Emmons (peak Billboard position # 25 in 1977) The only two things in life that make it worth livin' Is guitars tuned good 'n' firm-feelin' women I don't need ma name in the marquee lights I got my songs 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 feudin' 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 chokin' 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 buildin' 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 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 [Willie Nelson joins Waylon and his voice is prominent] 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 Hatfields and McCoys 'tween 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
