Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas, with Waylon and Willie and the boys,

this successful life we're livin' has got us feuding

              D7                       G

like the Hatfields and McCoys.

Between      Hank William’s pain songs, and      Newberry's train songs,

2.                 So, baby, let's sell your diamond ring,

      C                              D                       G

    buy some boots and faded jeans and go away,

                                                       C                     D             G

    this coat and tie is choking me, in your high society you cry all day.

       G7

    We've been so busy keepin' up with the Jones,

     C                                      Am

    four car garage and we're still building on.

       C            G                  D                              G

    Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love.
