[Verse 1]
G
Pack up all your dishes

Make note of all good wishes

Say goodbye to the landlord for me

That son of a bitch has always bored me
G
Throw out them L.A. papers
C
That moldy box of Vanilla Wafers
G
Adios to all this concrete
D G D
Gonna get me some dirt road back street
[Chorus]
C D
If I can just get off of this L.A. Freeway
G C
Without gettin' killed or caught
G
I'll be down the road in a cloud of smoke
D
To some land I ain't bought bought bought and
[Verse 2]

Here's to you old skinny Dennis
C
The only one I think I will miss

I can hear that old bass singin'

Sweet and low like a gift you're bringin'
G
Play it for me one more time now
C
Got to give it all we can now
G
I believe everything you're sayin'
D G D
Just you keep on keep on playin'
[Chorus]

If I can just get off of this L.A. Freeway

Without gettin' killed or caught

I'll be down the road in a cloud of smoke
D
To some land I ain't bought bought bought so
[Verse 3]
G
Put the pink card in the mailbox

Leave the key in the old front door lock

They'll find it likely as not
D
I'm sure there's somethin' we have forgot
[Verse 4]
G
Oh, Susanna don't you cry, babe
C
Love's a gift that's surely handmade

We got somethin' to believe in
D G D
Don't you think it's time we're leavin'
[Chorus]

If I can just get off of this L.A. Freeway

Without gettin' killed or caught

I'll be down the road in a cloud of smoke

To some land I ain't bought bought bought

If I can just get off of this L.A. Freeway

Without gettin' killed or caught

I'll be down the road in a cloud of smoke

To some land that I ain't bought
[Outro]

So pack up all your dishes

Say goodbye to the landlord for me

That son of a bitch has always bored me
