La Freeway

A D A E A D A E 
 
A 
Pack up all your dishes 
D 
Make note of all good wishes 
A 
Say goodby to the landlord for me 
E 
That son a bitch has always bored me 
A 
Throw out them  LA papers  
D 
And that moldy box of vanilla wafers 
A 
Adios to all this concrete 
E                                        A  E 
Gonna get me some dirt road back street 
         D                    E 
If I can just get off of this LA freeway 
    A                     D 
Without getting killed or caught 
A                    
I'll be down that road in a cloud of smoke 
        E                                        
To some land that I ain't bought bought bought 
A 
Here's to you old skinny Dennis 
D 
Only one I think I will miss 
A 
I can hear that old bass singing 
E 
Sweet and low like a gift you'd bring in 
A 
Play it for me  one more time now 
D 
Got to give it all we can now 
A 
I believe everything your saying 
E                             A   E 
Just keep on keep on playing 
         D                    E 
If I can just get off of this LA freeway

To some land that I ain't bought bought bought 
A 
Put the pink slip in the mailbox 
D 
Leave the key in the old front door lock 
A 
They'll find it likely as not 
E 
I'm sure there's something we have forgot 
A 
Oh Susanna now don't you cry babe 
D 
Love's a gift that's surely handmade 
A 
We've got something to believe in 
E                                   A   E 
Don't you think it's  we're leavin
