Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The only two things in lif[D]e that make it worth
[G]livin' is [C]guitars that tune good
and [D]firm feelin' wo[G]men
[C]I don't need my name in the marquee l[G]ights
I [C]got my song and I [D]got you with me to[G]night
[C]Maybe it's [G]time we got [D]back
to the basics of [G]love

[Chorus 1]
Let's go to [G]Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the [C]boys
This suc[D]cessful life we're livin' got us
feuding like the Hatfields and Mc[G]Coys
[G]Between Hank Williams' pain songs
and Newbury's train songs
and [C]"Blue Eyes Cryin' [Em]in the R[Am]ain"
Out in [D]Luckenbach, [Am]Texas,
[D]ain't nobody feelin' no [G]pain[Am][D]

[Verse 2]
So [G]baby, let's sell your diamond ring
[Am]Buy some boots and f[D]aded jeans
and [G]go away
This [G]coat and tie is choking me
[Am]In your high soc[D]iety you c[G]ry all day
[G]We've been so busy keepin' up with the Jones
[C]Four car garage [Em]and we're [Am]still building on
[C]Maybe it's [G]time we got [D]back
to the basics of [G]love

[Chorus 2]
Let's go to [G]Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the [C]boys
This suc[D]cessful life we're livin' got us
feuding like the Hatfields and Mc[G]Coys
[G]Between Hank Williams' pain songs
and Newbury's train songs
and [C]"Blue Eyes Cryin' [Em]in the R[Am]ain"
Out in [D]Luckenbach, [Am]Texas,
[D]ain't nobody feelin' no [G]pain

[Chorus 3]
Let's go [G]to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the [C]boys
This suc[D]cessful life we're livin' got us
feuding like the Hatfields and Mc[G]Coys
Between [G]Hank Williams' pain songs
and Jerry Jeff's train songs
and [C]"Blue Eyes Cryin' [Em]in the R[Am]ain"
Out in [D]Luckenbach, [Am]Texas,
there [D]ain't nobody feelin' no [G]pain
