Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pack up all your dishes
Make note of all good wishes
Say goodbye to the landlord for me
Son of a bitch has always bored me
Throw out them old L.A. papers
That moldy box of vanilla wafers
Adios to all this concrete
Gonna get me some dirt road back street
[Verse 2]
If I can just get off this L.A. freeway without gettin' killed or caught
I'd be down that road in a cloud of smoke
To some land I ain't bought, bought, bought
[Verse 3]
And here's, here's to you, old skinny Dennis
Only one I think I will miss
I can hear your old bass man singin'
Sweet and low like the gift you're bringin'
Play it for me just one more time now
Got to give it all we can now
I believe every word you're sayin'
Just keep on, keep on playin'
[Verse 4]
If I can just get off this L.A. freeway without gettin' killed or caught
I'd be down that road in a cloud of smoke
To some land I ain't bought, bought, bought
[Verse 5]
And you put the pink card in the mailbox
Leave the key in the old front door lock
They will find it likely as not
Sure there's something we have forgot
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry, babe
Love's a gift that's surely handmade
We've got something to believe in
Don't you think it's time we're leaving
[Verse 6]
If I can just get off of this L.A. freeway without gettin' killed or caught
I'd be down that road in a cloud of smoke
To some land I ain't bought, bought, bought
If I  just get off this L.A. freeway without gettin' killed or caught
[Verse 7]
Pack up all your dishes
Make note of all good wishes
Say goodbye to the landlord for me
Son of a bitch has always bored me
