luckenbach, texas lyrics

(bobby gene emmons, chips moman)



The only two things in life that make it worth living

Is guitars tuned good and firm-feeling women.

Well, I don't need my name in the marquee lights,

I got my song and I got you with me tonight.

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,

Steve goodman train songs,

Blue eyes crying in the rain,

Out in luckenbach, texas,

Ain't nobody feeling no pain.



So baby let's sell your diamond ring

To buy some boots and faded jeans and go away.

This coat and tie is choking me

In your high society you cry all day.

We've been so busy keeping up with the jones

Four-car garage and we're still building on.
maybe its 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 feuding like the hatfields and mccoys.

Between hank williams pain songs,

Steve goodman train songs,

Blue eyes crying in the rain,

Luckenbach, texas,

Ain't nobody feeling no pain.
