 Transition:
 
 
 
 
 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
 Throw out them L.A. papers
 That moldy box of Vanilla Wafers
 Adios to all this concrete
 Gonna get me some dirt road back street
 chords may be slightly out of place):
 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 bought bought
 Here's to you old skinny Dennis
 The only one I think I will miss
 I can hear that old bass singin'
 Sweet and low like a gift you're bringin'
 Play if for me one more time now
 Got to give it all we can now
 I believe everything you're sayin'
 Just you keep on keep on playin'
 (Chorus)
 Put the pink card in the mailbox
 Leave the key in the old front door lock
 They'll find it likely as not
 I'm sure there's somethin' we have forgot
 Oh, Susanna don't you cry, babe
 Love's a gift that's surely handmade
 We got somethin' to believe in
 Don't you think it's time we're leavin'
 (Chorus)
