Guy Clark
L.A. Freeway
[Verse 1]
Pack up all your dishes
Make a note of all good wishes
Say goodbye to the landlord for me
He was a guy extremely bored

[Verse 2]
And throw out those L.A. papers
Mouldy box of vanilla wafers
And adios to all this concrete
I'm gonna get me some dirt road backstreet

[Chorus]
If I can just get off of that L.A. freeway
Without gettin' killed or caught
Down the road in a cloud of smoke
Toward some land that I ain't bought, bought, bought
If I can just get off of that L.A. freeway

[Verse 3]
Here's to you, Skinny Dennis
The only one I think I will miss
'Cause I can hear old bass man singin'
Sweet and low, like a gift you're bringin'

[Verse 4]
Oh my lady, don't you cry
Love's a gift that's truly handmade
And we got somethin' we can beliеve in
So now don't you think it's time we'rе leavin'
[Chorus]
If I can just get off of that L.A. freeway
Without gettin' killed or caught
Down the road in a cloud of smoke
Toward some land that I ain't bought, bought, bought
If I can just get off of that L.A. freeway

[Solo]
(make it pretty [?])

[Chorus]
If I can just get off of that L.A. freeway
Without gettin' killed or caught
Down the road in a cloud of smoke
Toward some land that I ain't bought, bought, bought
If I can just get off of that L.A. freeway
Get me off of that L.A. freeway
