D  
Pack up all the dishes
G
Make a note of all good wishes
D
Say goodbye to the landlords for me
A
Sons of b***hes always bore me
D
Throw out your old Zigzag papers
G
And moldy box of vanilla wafers
D
Adios to all this concrete
A
Gonna get me some Stillwater back streets


Chorus:
         G                    A
If I can just get off of this L.A. freeway
    D                     G
Without getting killed or caught
        D         D/C#      Bm  
I’ll be down that road in a cloud of smoke
        G                     A
To some land that, baby, that I ain’t bought
           G                    A
Well I can just get off of this L.A. freeway
    D                     G
Without getting killed or caught



Now here’s to you old Skinny Dennis
The only one I think I will miss
I can hear your bass man ringin’
As sweet and low like a gift your bringin’
Play it for me one more time now
Got to give it all you can now
I believe every word you’re sayin’
Just to keep on keepin’ on, keep on playin’

Chorus:


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
