Freeway [A] Without gettin' killed or caught [D] I'll be down the road in a [A] cloud of smoke To some [E] land that I ain't bought bought bought [Verse 2] 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] So 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
