Just took a trip to Lukenbach, Texas. Now there’s some real country for ya.
What’s nice about luckenbach, is that there’s really nothing near there. It’s a bar in nowhere, connected by a road, to elsewhere.
But let me differentiate this one thing. LINE DANCING AIN’T TEXAS.
Line dancing is what you do when leaving a bar falling down drunk if the chicks won’t catch you.
Marriage is between a man and a woman.
Dancing is between a man and a woman.
In dancing, if there’s space between a man and a woman, somebody damn well better be spinning and headed back to an embrace for a big finish.
I actually observed once a French travel bus tour that was at Broken Spoke in Austin when Dale Watson was playing.
Wow. We explained these rules to them. They were confused, but adapted to the culture.
(Back to the Basics of Love)
There 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 marquis 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 fueding
like the Hatfield and McCoys
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
In your high socitey you cry all day
We’ve been so busy keepin’ up with the Jones
Four car garage and we’re still building on
Maby 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 fueding
like the Hatfield and McCoys
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 fueding
like the Hatfield and McCoys
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
