"Nothin' but The Taillights" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Clint Black. The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.[1] It was released in January 1998 as the third single and title track from his album of the same name. The song was written by Black and Steve Wariner. This became the first song in which Clint Black began a songwriting partnership with Steve Wariner. Very soon after, Clint Black and Steve Wariner began writing some new songs together for Clint Black's future studio releases.
