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,  
   
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,  
        D7                 
Out in Luckenbach, Texas,  
                         G     
ain't nobody feelin' no pain.  
   
              Am D 
(interlude: )     
   
    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.
