[Bb]
Pack up all your [Eb] dishes, make note of all good [Bb] wishes, say goodbye to the landlord for [F] me.
Sons of bitches always bore me, [Bb] throw out those L.A. [Eb] papers,
moldy box of vanilla
[Bb] wafers, potty old skew wall is concrete,
[F] gonna get me some dirt road back street.
[Eb] Finding casket off [F] of that L.A. freeway [Bb] without getting killed [Eb] or caught.
[Bb] Get down the road in [Gm] a cloud of smoke, [Cm] for some land that I [F] ain't caught.

Here's [F] [Bb]
to you old skinny Dennis, [Eb]
the only one I think I will [Bb] miss.
I can hear your basement singing, [F] sweet and low like a gift you're bringing.
[Bb] Play it for me one more time now, [Eb] got to give it all we can [Bb] now.
I believe every word you're saying, [F] keep on, keep on playing.

Put the pink slip in the mailbox, [Eb]
leave the key in the old front door [Bb] lock.
They will find it likely as [F] not, all the things that we have forgot.
[Bb] Oh my lady now don't you cry, [Eb] love's a gift that's truly [Bb] handmade.
We got something to believe [F] in, now don't you think it's time we're leaving.
