Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The only two things in life that make it worth livin'

Is guitars 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

[Chorus]

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 Crying in the Rain'

Out in Luckenbach, Texas

Ain't nobody feelin' no pain

[Verse 2]

So, baby, let's sell your diamond ring

Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away

This coat and tie is chokin' me

And in your high society you cry all day

We've been so busy keepin' up with the Jones

A four-car garage and we're still buildin' on

Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love

[Chorus]

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 Crying in the Rain'

Out in Luckenbach, Texas

Ain't nobody feelin' no pain

[Chorus]

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

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 feelin' no pain
