Cover of L. A. Freeway by Guy Clark

Love this song. The following is a quote from americansongwriter.com about a time after Guy and his wife Susanna had moved to L.A.
"Although Guy had left his home state of Texas far behind, Texas never quite left him. Feeling like a homesick failure, Guy weighed the option of leaving many times, but the distant horizon of success kept him sticking around. As Guy and his wife Susanna drove home from a gig in San Diego one night, Guy awoke from a half-drunken slumber in the backseat.
As Susanna drove along through the California darkness, Guy said the first thing that came to mind, “If I could just get off of this L.A Freeway, without getting killed or caught.” Realizing the weight of his words, Guy quickly borrowed Susanna’s eyeliner and wrote down the phrase on an empty hamburger sack."
