Chords

(Waylon):
A
Before you pack your suitcase call your mama

A
Up till now she's taught you all you need to know

E
Think of me as kinda like your daddy

                                  A
Teaching you the ol' rules of the road
(Willie):
A
You won't be no superstar tomorrow

A
You've gotta take the time to pay your dues

E
When you start to feel at home out on the highway

                                       A
You're damn sure qualified to sing the blues
[CHORUS]
        D                               A
Waylon: Always send the big guy for the money

        D                                  A
Willie: Don't give 'em no excuse to do you wrong

        D                                   A
Waylon: Even when you lose you're still the winner

        E                                    A
Willie: At least you've got the makin's of a song
(Willie):
A
Don't compromise your feelings when they matter

A
They'll come back to haunt you, don't you know?
(Waylon):
E
The songs you sing today you'll sing tomorrow

                                       A
If you don't give up the music for the show
[CHORUS]

Both: At least you've got the makin's of a song
