[Verse]
G                       D                       G    
The only two things in life that make it worth livin'
     C                         D            G    
is guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women,
C                D                    G    
I don't need my name in the marquee lights,
  C                  D                  G    
I got my song and I got you with me to night,
  C          G          D                     G   
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love,

[Chorus]
G                             
Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas,
                                C   
With Waylon and Willie and the boys,
         D                               
This successful life we're livin's got us
                                 G    
feudin' like the Hatfields and McCoys,
Between Hank Williams' pain songs and Newbury's train songs,
     C                      Am  
And Blue Eyes Cryin in the Rain,
        D                
Out in Luckenbach, Texas,
                         G   
ain't nobody feelin' no pain.

[Interlude]
Am D

[Verse]
    G                                 
So baby, let's sell your diamond ring,
Am                  D              G       
Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away,
This coat and tie is chokin' me;
Am                D                G  
in your high society, you cry all day,
We've been so busy keepin' up with the Joneses
 C                         Am                
four-car garage, and we're still buildin' on,
C           G           D                     G   
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love.

[Chorus]
G

                                 G    
feudin' like the Hatfields and McCoys,
Between Hank Williams' pain songs and Newbury's train songs,
     C                      Am  
And Blue Eyes Cryin in the Rain,

                                 G    
feudin' like the Hatfields and McCoys,
Between Hank Williams' pain songs and Jerry Jeff's train songs,
     C                      Am  
And Blue Eyes Cryin in the Rain,
        D                
Out in Luckenbach, Texas,
                         G
