Here's to you, ol' skinny Dennis  
the only one I think I will miss 
I can hear your bassman singing 
soft and low like a gift you're bringing 
 
Play it for me one more time now 
got to give it all we can now 
I believe every word you're saying... 
keep on, keep on playing. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Put the pink slip in the mailbox 
leave the key in the ol' front door lock 
They will find it likely as not 
and all the things that we have forgot 
 
Oh, Suzannah don't you cry babe  
love's a gift that's truly handmade 
We got something we believe in  
Texas is callin'it's time we're leaving. 
 
(Chorus)
