Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D]
[G][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Pack up all your dishes
[C]Make note of all good wishes
[G]Say goodbye to the landlord for me
[D]That son of a bitch has always bored me
[G]Throw out them LA papers
And [C]that moldy box of vanilla wafers
[G]Adios to all this concrete
[D]Gonna get me some dirt road back street
[G][D]

[Chorus 1]
If I can [C]just get off of this [D]LA freeway
With[G]out getting killed or [C]caught
I'd [G]be down that road in a cloud of smoke
To some [D]land
that I ain't bought bought bought

[Verse 2]
And [G]it's here's to you old skinny Dennis
[C]Only one I think I will miss
[G]I can hear that old bass singing
[D]Sweet and low like a gift you're bringin'
[G]Play it for me just one more time now
[C]Got to give it all we can now
[G]I believe everything your saying
[D]And just on, keep on playing
[G][D]

[Chorus 2]
If I can [C]just get off of this [D]LA freeway
With[G]out getting killed or [C]caught
I'd [G]be down that road in a cloud of smoke
To some [D]land
that I ain't bought bought bought

[Verse 3]
And [G]you put the pink card in the mailbox
[C]Leave the key in the old front door lock
[G]They will find it likely as not
[D]I'm sure there's somethin' we have forgot
[G]Oh Susanna, don't you cry, babe
[C]Love's a gift that's surely handmade
[G]We've got something to believe in
[D]Don't ya' think it's time we're leavin'
[G][D]

[Chorus 3]
If I can [C]just get off of this [D]LA freeway
With[G]out getting killed or [C]caught
I'd [G]be down that road in a cloud of smoke
To some [D]land
that I ain't bought bought bought
If I can [C]just get off of this [D]LA freeway
With[G]out getting killed or [C]caught
[G]Down road in a cloud of smoke
To some [D]land that I ain't bought

[Verse 4]
[G]So pack up all your dishes
[C]Make note of all good wishes
[G]And say goodbye to the landlord for me
[D]That son of a bitch has always bored me

[Outro 1]
[G][C][G][D]
