"Luckenbach, Texas (Back To The Basics Of Love)"

Well, there are only three things in life that make it worth livin'
It's guitars that tune good and firm-feelin' women, women
I don't need my name in the marquee light
I got my song and I got you with me tonight
Maybe it's time we got down to some basics in love

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're living's
Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys
Between Hank Williams' pain songs, Newbury's train song
Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas, ain't nobody feelin' no pain

Baby, let's sell your diamond ring, buy some boots and faded jeans
And go away
Coat and tie are killin' 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 down to some basics in love, show 'em

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're living's
Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys
Between Hank Williams' pain songs, Newbury's train song
Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas, ain't nobody feelin' no pain
