Jun 15

48 years married - 15 moves - 3 times foreign.

Pack up all your dishes
Make note of all good wishes
And say goodbye to the landlord for me
That son of a bitch has always bored me

Throw out them LA papers
And that mouldy 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 gettin’ killed or caught
I'll be down the road in a cloud of smoke
To some land I ain't bought, bought, bought

LA Freeway Guy Clark

Pretty much!
