Notes: | Short for 'Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)', this Waylon Jennings hit reflects on fame, fortune, and getting back to what matters. |
GThe only two things in lDife that make it worth lGivin'
is guCitars that tune good and fDirm feelin' wGomen,
CI don't need my nDame in the marquee liGghts,
I Cgot my song and I gDot you with me to nGight,
MaCybe it's tiGme we got bDack to the basics of lGove,
GLet's go to Luckenbach, Texas,
With Waylon and Willie and the bCoys,
This succDessful life we're livin's got us
feudin' like the Hatfields and McGCoys,
Between Hank Williams' pain songs and Newbury's train songs,
And BClue Eyes Cryin in the RAmain,
Out in LD7uckenbach, Texas,
ain't nobody feelin' no pGain.
(interlude: ) Am D
So bGaby, let's sell your diamond ring,
AmBuy some boots and fDaded jeans and Ggo away,
This coat and tie is chokin' me;
Amin your high socieDty, you cry all dGay,
We've been so busy keepin' up with the Joneses
fCour-car garage, and we're Amstill buildin' on,
CMaybe it's tGime we got bDack to the basics of lGove.
