Jennings, Waylon - Luckenbach, Texas (Back To The Basics Of Love) Lyrics
The only two things in life
That make it worth livin'
Is guitars to tune good
And firm feelin' women
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 Hatfields and McCoys
Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Newbury's train songs
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 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 Hatfields and McCoys
Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Newbury'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 Willie and Waylon and the boys
This successful life we're livin'
Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys
Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Jerry Jeff's train songs
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas
There ain't nobody feelin' no pain

Who Is The Lady Singing BACKGROUND Music? SHE IS great Just Like him,!
THEY DON,T MAKE THEM LIKE WAYLON ANYMORE
This song is trash, lil yachty and lil pump is much better.
🖕🤣🤣🤣
If I had to describe Waylon Jennings in one word, it would be...Real 😊
Hey This Is Arica And Osher Doss My Loving Husband He Is Good To Me He Is Beautiful Person To Me I Love Osher Doss For That
this audience bothers me on many levels, Waylon was a master, plain and simple.
love waylon for sure
He is an amazing singer with such an amazing voice RIP Waylon!
Only Waylon could pull off a Wonder Women logo and make it cool.
That big ol' W in the back like Van Halens logo.
Not gonna lie I teared up a little seeing Waylon sing.
Luke Byran: watch me do country
Waylon: that's cute
It’s so sad that country music can’t be this good anymore!
I grew up listening to this, I can actually sound like him singing this
Waylie and Willon and the boys!
Still my faviorte country singer Waylon Jennings
Too fast. Crappy arrangement.
The old man and mom divorced in 78 and dad got custody of his 7 kids and moved us up to Fairbanks Alaska and this is one of the many songs I remember him listening to as he figured out what to do with 7 kids..
Beautiful song I goes out to my brother Gary he's gone now are you still with me and my heart thank you Waylon Jenny I miss you too
Few years after getting out of the army I drove my 69 G.T.O. to El passo what a trip went there to visit some ole Army brothers had a ball played this a lot back when music ment something .yes I was going through a divorce .got to keep my goat tho .🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🗽ps 2048 miles one way .the ole goat had no problem at 110 mph at time .man 70 yrs old now but would sure love to make that trip again .many brothers gone now
I could not have put I any better. Darrell Cooling . Pixie 🧚♀️🏴
I hate all this modern country music. No modern country singer comes close to Waylon
I always loved the Ol' Hoss. I lived through my old wild days and I can see today the sweat, the eyes, cocaine. But God Bless the old Hoss.
Glad Granddad introduced me to this one.
I don't know whether or not to be proud about this because Waylon and Hank Jr are my two favorite singers and all my friends say that they are sh*t. All they like is that rap kind of music. I might be the only kid in my grade who likes true country music
just love this music
Another great period
The real simple music ❤️
He looks like one of the three musketeers I love it
What an amazing voice Waylon had!
Strong yet earnest,no hokum,no silly false tremolo frills.
Waylon was simply the best.
This is such a tempting example for human ability, even with the worst start we can unfold our potential in Music, Maths, Play, Martialarts, Painting, Sculpture, Craftmanship, Empathy..... RIP W. Jennings
I've always wished he had sung the verse in a live show, "we've been so busy keeping up with George Jones", pause and wait, "let's try that again, we've been so busy keeping up with George Jones", pause "now I know why they call him no-show, let's try that one more time, we've been so busy keeping up with George Jones", then George Jones comes on stage and finishes the song with Waylon. It could have happened at a farm-aid show or something like that. It would have been great.
It's funny how much I liked his music as a kid when your supposed to like rock. I always felt his music is the best thing to listen to on the road especially.
Brian McKee Waylon has been amazing for many of my roadtrips around and across the USA!
Waylon is rock buddy
bunch of losers
What a man.
What year? Thanks.
Me b gone but never forgotten would have been 82
Unbelievable - that’s all
They sure don’t make music like this nomore
Drinking and dreaming
Are those 2 Fender Super 6s on stage?
still listening and tapping .... love it
The background singer must've been one of Waylon's good times that he had to apologize for. Phew! Are the forty thumbs down women he left behind? How can anyone thumbs down Waylon Jennings, and I'm a city slicker. Can't DENY AN EPIC VOICE!
Yeah I dont know anyone who could talk shit about this hippie outlaw cowboy named waylon jennings
Waylon Jennings. Very good musician. My brother Andy Favoite music back in the 1989. Waylon forever we miss him! Thank you sir for spending your time with us! Marlene
that was a treat appreciate the upload thanks man!!
Waylon Jennings was a man among men.
still there..
Waylon a legend my party!!
Waylon Jennings’s and Cher are the music legends
Don't think I've ever heard those two mentioned together, but I agree.
Waylon and
Always chuckle when he slips up and says “waylie and willon and the boys”
@NJcruiser I agree. God Bless. Have a good week.
Tim Watson Lol he literally sang “Waylee and Willon and the boys.” And I love Waylon for it honestly! But don’t fool yourself!
Tim Watson from Watson to another, you sir are a fucking moron. Clean the cum outta your ears boy 🙄
That little "slip" was intentional, just like the other song when Willie says "don't let your cowboys grow up to be babies" LOL they are having fun!!
He did it on purpose... :) Just saying... see he is smiling and looking back...... And he is human just like you and I and every other Human in this world....:)
Thank you for some great country music...
Love love love
real music, real singing, everything modern music is MISSING!
You forgot real talent.
Brilliant
Anyone know the date or location of this show?
August 1978 at the Grand Ole Opry
@Trevor Phillips ah, that's why the crowd is so dead Haha
boston bault exactly haha. His concerts were usually pretty rowdy so I’m sure this was unusual for him.
Beautiful Waylon ""💞💞🎶🎶🎶🐚🎸
Waylon a legend my party!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💘💘💘💘💘💞💞💞💞💞💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💕❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was named after him
Howdy WAYLON...
Four things.........funny. Interesting how he's singing/playing it up in the key of A instead of G like the studio recording. Most singers adjust a song down a key. Key change to B too!
My musical taste spans several genres, I'm not locked into one specific kind of music.(thank god) But I've always been in awe of W.J.. He's such a consumate pro at what he did. He was the real deal and what you saw was what he was. He didn't cotton to a lot of BS cuz to him and his fans it was all about the music, and he never lost sight of that. RIP Waylon
I was there this past weekend for July 4th Celebration !!!!! I am still trying to de-toxify !!! Had a great time is the bottom line. Great MUSIC ....Fantastic and Peaceful Place to be......good friends..... Unbelievable !!! Going back next year !!!
Yeah, I know I'm old. I miss true country music. no auto-tune or extreme post production mixing
Waylon. May be dead but his music will live on
Could not agree with you more.
Delia Scott yep. He remains a favorite of mine. No matter the season; I tend to favor one Waylon song or another....or two-three.
Waylon a legend always a party!!
The best there was , and always will be . RIP Walylon
Nice, but it’s better when Waylon and Willie are singing this
Willie only does 1 verse at the end tho lmao
Hell yes good country music thanks Waylon I miss u buddy!!!!
RIP OUTLAW
I like the higher tempo.
Way too fast. Happens with onstage nerves, but man that tempo is too much.
@ben willingham Yeah, they can do whatever they want, they are country legends. I don't have to like it though.
This was during him and the band's most Coked out day's.
@David Hartding Good point, hadn't thought about that. Great song regardless, didn't mean to rain on the parade!
Well waylon didn't like this song originally cuz of the slow tempo. So he changed it, but it's still his song bruh
The tempo is okay man..
Thankyou! Always a Party!!
Always a Party!!
1:38 "Wayllie and Willyon and the boys"
🤣🤣🤣 who's wayllie and willon?
ramirosan145 r/woosh
@Jason Daly cringe normy r/nobodyasked lmao
Mr.ManMakesLotsOfCan what’s your problem? You queer
Love him! but that was funny. I'm a singer and sometimes I catch myself doing the same thing😂😂😂😂😍😍
The Forth thing is Walylon singing the best Dam country music
Waylon was friends with another great musician who was only with us a few years...... but left an indelible mark on music as did Waylon....... his friend, companion... and at times mentor........Buddy Holly.
I didn't know that they were friends....Thanx for telling me this.....
He was his bass player bruh
🌟🌟😎
Did he say the only four things??
Yes, he would say four or even eight sometimes because he’d have fun and switch it up instead of saying two all the time
This guys is a fucking legend!!!
Guys just think he could of been massacred in a plane crash I'm glad he stuck around until his death rip waylon miss you brother
from Nashville to Ashville NC like the ole days with neil young. Rufus on fiddle
The great Waylon Jennings. One of a kind.
Real country music,
Know one will fill his shoes...Waylon the real DEAL..
I sure agree love that man
Susan Love y walyen and jessi wrong song
kelly aiken like George said.....
Who’s gonna fill their shoes..........................
I do think shooter and Hank3 is up to par doe......
Happy New year 🎆🎈🎊 BTW
This is how its done. No sparkles, no dancers, no frosted tips, no manicures, no fluff. Just good honest music.
@Jorge Daniel Barajas Olvera Very well said. Thank God for old vinyl and YouTube. I refuse to listen to this so-called country crap out today. The artists of today couldn't even carry Waylon's guitar case. I hear some of em referring to these old musicians and how their music influenced them. Ain't one lick of truth to that. If it did influence them, WE'D STILL HAVE THIS GREAT MUSIC TODAY!!!
U don’t like the fluff? Come on... Bloody hell, the days where all was alright and none got offended.
@Darrell Cooling YOU are a SEXIST , MALE , PIG!!!
Maybe you didn't notice a few things. The giant W in flashing lights. The clean pressed shirt and vest, the new hat and polished boots. The leather bling guitar. His image is highly manicured.
It may not be the same image as today, nor is it the matching pastel suits with embroidered flowers, and short back and sides of mainstream country of the era, but every inch of Waylon's image was thoughtfully manicured.
Now I am not passing negative judgement on it, just saying it is not s organic and free as you suggest.
That wasn't a slip LOL
these songs with Waylon and the people around him used to be billed as the Lost Concert
Ye Nashville wanted to keep this hidden. They were ashamed this outlaw could play at the Opry, like a glitch in the matrix
Wishing being in Luckenbach Texas... Great singer Waylon! Greetings from Argentina!
God bless Argentina, one of the best countries in south america
I was about to say, If you want to go to Luckenbach, why not take a drive down there? Then I re-read and realized you're in Argentina, not Arlington. I need glasses.
Maximilian McHenry oh shit, I'm sorry, BUT GREETINGS FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
FLORIDA.
DONT CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA♡♡♡
The greatest in my book love him
Mine too..for sure.
Just drove through Luckenbach Texas yesterday!
Glad you could find it!!
No feels pain there. Unless Chuck Norris inflicts it.
One of a kind.
Base ball cards cards what cards what they're worth the whole nine yards
The dude was great...im glad he gave his plane seat to the big bopper...maybe it was God? Maybe just luck?
Weird comment. We lost Buddy Holly.
@ffairlane57 We lost Buddy either way. No one's glad about that.
He actually gave his seat to Ritchie Valens.
If it's not your time, you ain't going.
Good classic..but i really dig.atlantas burning down and the Eagle
