Pack up all the dishes
|
Make a note of all good wishes
|
Say goodbye to the landlord for me
|
Aw you know he always bored me
|
And throw out all those LA papers
|
The moldy box of Vanilla Wafers
|
Adios to all this concrete
|
Gonna get me some dirt road back streets
|
|
Now here¡¯s to you old Skinny Dennis
|
The only one I think I will miss
|
I can hear those bass notes ringin¡¯
|
As sweet and low like a gift your bringin¡¯
|
So play it for me one more time now
|
You got to give it all you can now
|
Well I believe every word you¡¯re sayin¡¯
|
Just to keep on keepin¡¯ on, keep on playin¡¯
|
|
Chorus:
|
Well I can just get off of this L.A. freeway
|
Without getting killed or caught
|
Down the road in a cloud of smoke
|
To some land that, baby, we ain¡¯t bought
|
If I can just get off this L.A. freeway
|
|
Leave the key card in the mailbox
|
Leave the key in that old front lock
|
They can find it likely as not
|
There must be somethin¡¯ we have forgot
|
Oh, Susanna don¡¯t you cry babe
|
Love¡¯s a gift and truly handmade
|
We got somethin¡¯ to believe in
|
Texas is callin, baby, it¡¯s time we were leavin¡¯
|
|
Chorus
