Luckenbach Texas Lyrics
By Waylon Jennings

Below are the Luckenbach Texas lyrics to this great song from Waylon Jennings. I've also included a demo version of the song on the acoustic of this great tune.

This song, which guest stars Willie Nelson, hit the airwaves in the spring of 1977 and went straight to the top of the country charts where it spent 5 weeks. The song was from the album Ol Waylon.

--- Start Of Luckenbach Texas Lyrics ---

There's only two things in life that make it worth livin'
That's 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

Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're livin' got us feuding like the Hatfield and McCoy's
Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry'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, and 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 feuding like the Hatfield and McCoy's
Between Hank Williams pain songs, 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 Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're livin' got us feuding like the Hatfield and McCoy's
Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs and blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Out in Luckenbach Texas ... ain't nobody feelin' no pain
