L.A. Freeway (Live At The Performing Arts Center, New Orleans, 1977) - Jerry Jeff Walker

Lyrics by：Guy Clark

Composed by：Guy Clark

Pack up all the dishes

Make a note of all good wishes

Say goodbye to the landlord for me

Sounds of beaches he always bored me

And throw out all those L A papers

The moldy box of Vanilla Wafers

Adios to all this concrete

Gonna get me some dirt road back streets

If I can just get off of that L A freeway

Without getting killed or caught

Down that road in a cloud of smoke

For some land that I ain't bought

If I can just get off of that L A freeway

Without getting killed or caught

Oh yeah

Here's to you old Skinny Dennis

The only one I think I will miss

I can hear those bass notes ringin'

Sweet and low like a gift your bringin'

So play it for me one more time now

You got to give it all you can now

I believe every word you're sayin'

Keep it on just keepin' on playin'

Well I can just get off of this L A freeway

Without getting killed or caught

Oh

Down the road in a cloud of smoke

To some land that I ain't bought

If I can just get off this L A freeway

Without getting killed or caught

Woah

Leave the key card in the mailbox

Leave the key in that old front lock

They can find it likely as not

There must be somethin' we have forgot

Oh my lady don't you cry babe

Love's a gift and truly handmade

We got somethin' to believe in

I know it's time we were leavin'

Well I can just get off of this L A freeway

Without getting killed or caught

Ooh

Down the road

Down the road

To some land that I ain't bought

If I can just get off this L A freeway

Without getting killed or caught

Ho
