Note: Where it says (opt w/d) there's a walk-down that goes
real fast that is optional to play if you want to --> D-D/C#-Bm-A

                       A
The only two things in life that make it worth livin'
A
Are guitars tuned good, and fine feelin' women
A
I don't need my name in the marquee lights
A
Got a little song we're gonna sing for you tonight so let's go


Chorus 1:
A                                   A7                        D
Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys
        E
This successful life we're livin'
                                        A
Got us feudin' like the Hatfields and McCoys
             A                            A7
Between them Hank Williams pain songs and Newbury's train songs
    D                A  -  Bm
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain
       E                                         A
Out in Luckenbach, Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain


   A
So baby let's sell your diamond ring
Bm                  E          A
Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away
     A
This coat and tie is chokin' me
Bm              E         A
In your high society you cry all day
A7
We've been so busy keepin' up with the Jones
D                         Bm
Four-car garage and we're still buildin' on
D (opt w/d) A           E                     A
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love


Chorus 2:
A                                   A7                        D
Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys
        E
This successful life we're livin'
                                        A
Got us feudin' like the Hatfields and McCoys
             A                            A7
Between them Hank Williams pain songs and Jerry Jeff train songs
    D                A  -  Bm
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain
   E                                         A
Oh Luckenbach, Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain


Instrumental:  A   D   E   A


REPEAT CHORUS 1

            E                                         A
Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain
A
No pain, no pain....
