| G | D | G |
| The only two things in | life that make it worth | living |
| C | D7 | G |
Is | guitars that tune good and | firm feeling | women |
| C | G |
| I don't need my name in the marquee | lights |
| C | D7 | G |
I | got my song and I | got you with me to | night |
| D | G |
Maybe it's time we got | back to the basics of | love |
| G |
Let's go to | Luckenbach, Texas, |
| C |
With Waylon and Willie and the | boys |
| D7 |
This suc | cessful life we're living got us |
| G |
Feuding like the Hatfields and Mc | Coys |
Between Hank William's pain songs and Newberry's train songs | |
| C | Am |
And | "Blue Eyes Crying in the | Rain" |
| D7 | Am |
Out in | Luckenbach, | Texas |
| D7 | Am | G |
| Ain't nobody | feeling no | pain |
So baby, let's sell your diamond ring | |
| Am | D7 | G |
| Buy some boots and | faded jeans and | go away |
This coat and tie is choking me | |
| Am | D7 | G |
| In your high so | ciety, you | cry all day |
We've been so busy keeping up with the Jones | |
| C | Am |
| Four-car garage, and we're | still building on |
| C | G | D | G |
| Maybe it's | time we got | back to the basics of | love |
