Luckenbach, Texas
Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson
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.
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 William's pain songs and
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 chokin' me;
In your high so-ci-e-ty 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.
"Hondo Crouch, local rancher and regional folk hero bought Luckenbach in 1970 when he saw an ad in the paper "town- pop.3- for sale."
Luckenbach became this poet - sage's stage where he held the first Women's Only Chili Cook-off, a World's Fair (because he proclaimed Luckenbach as the center of the Universe) & Return of the Mud Dauber Day (as do swallows in Capistrano).
After Hondo died in 1976 his music making friends penned the song "Luckenbach Texas" which was recorded by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson in 1978. The song, now a classic, became a number one smash hit all across the nation and beyond putting Luckenbach on the map for good."
