Who keeps on trusting you
When you've been cheating
And spending your nights on the town
And who keeps on saying that he still wants you
When you're through running around
And who keeps on loving you
When you've been lying
Saying things ain't what they seem
God does
But I don't
God will
But I won't
And that's the difference
Between God and me
So who says he'll forgive you
And says that he'll miss you
And dream of your sweet memory
God does
But I don't
God will
But I won't
And that's the difference
Between God and me
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 LA papers
And that moldy box of vanilla wafers.
Adios to all this concrete.
Gonna get me some dirt road back street
If I can just get off of this LA freeway
Without getting killed or caught
Down that road in a cloud of smoke
For some land that I ain't bought bought bought
Here's to you old skinny Dennis
Only one I think I will miss
I can hear that old bass singing
Sweet and low like a gift you're bringin'
Play it for me just one more time now
Got to give it all we can now
I beleive everything your saying
Just keep on, keep on playing
If I can just get off of this LA freeway
Without getting killed or caught
Down that road in a cloud of smoke
For some land that I ain't bought bought bought
And you put the pink card in the mailbox
Leave the key in the old front door lock
They will 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've got something to believe in
Don't you think it's time we're leavin'
If I can just get off of this LA freeway
Without getting killed or caught
Down that road in a cloud of smoke
For some land that I ain't bought bought bought
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
