I’m still coming to grips with the blog thing. In particular the subject matter. I’d like to think that my posts might be useful to someone, somewhere, sometime. So, I don’t want it to get too wide. But it needs to be wider than what we are doing on the farm.
The subject matter, therefore, of this blog will be that related to the reasons we have moved out of the city. Which means I’d better put together a list of reasons.
I wonder if you can channel grump, like you can channel energy? Mark has started his blog today. If he gets all of his grump onto his blog, then he will be all grumped out by the time he, and Alison, come to visit. What on earth will we talk about?
Luckenbach, Texas (Back To the Basics Of Love)
Artist: Waylon Jennings
Words and Music by Chips Moman and Bobby Emmons
The only two things in life that make it worth livin’
Is guitars tuned good ‘n’ firm-feelin’ women
I don’t need ma name in the marquee lights
I got my songs 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 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
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 society 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
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 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
[Willie Nelson joins Waylon and his voice is prominent]
Let’s go to Luckenbach, Texas with Willie and Waylon and the boys
This successful life we’re livin’s got us feudin’ like the Hatfields and McCoys
‘tween 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
