Luckenbach Texas
by Waylon Jennings
G D7 G
There're only two things in life that make it worth living
C D7 G
It's guitars tuned good and firm feeling women
C G
I don't need my name in the marquis lights
C D7 G
I got my song and I got you with me tonight
D7 G
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love
C
Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boy's
D7 G
This successful life we're living got us feuding like the Hatfield's and McCoy's
Between Hank William's pain song's and Newberry's train songs
C Am
And Blue Eye's Crying in the Rain
D7 Am D7 G
Out in Luckenbach Texas 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 society you cry all day
G7
We've been so busy keeping up with the Jones'
C A7
Four car garage and we're still building on
C G D7 G
Maybe it's time we got back to the basic's of love
