CAPO I

INTRO: A

(Waylon):

A

Before you pack your suitcase, call your mama

A

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

E

Just look at me as kinda like your daddy

E A

Teachin' you the old rules of the road

(Willie):

You won't be no superstar tomorrow

You've got to take the time to pay your dues

When you start to feel at home out on the highway

You're damn sure qualified to sing the blues

CHORUS:

D A

Always send the big guy for the money

D A

Don't give 'em no excuse to do you wrong

D A F#m

Even when you lose you're still the winner

E A

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

E A

(Willie):

DOn't compromise your feelings when they matter

They'll come back to haunt you don't you know

(Waylon):

The songs you sing today you'll sing tomorrow

If you don't give up the music for the show

CHORUS

E A

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