The only two things in life that make it worth livin'
Is guitars tuned good and firm-feelin' women
I don't need my 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
Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're living's
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 living's
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
Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
Willie and Waylon and the boys
This successful life we're living's
Got us feudin' like the Hatfields 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
