...Landlord's Profits. Most mutual funds invest their shareholders' money in stocks and bonds, but U.S. Investment Fund puts 70% of its revenue into income-producing U.S. real estate.

Jim falls asleep, little-boy-fashion, with his head in Josie's lap, but not before revealing that there is room in his spent life for only one woman, his dead mother. Dawn finds him, the father and the daughter locked again...

"And I do hope you receive it well depending on the way you feel that you've lived," is one of several great lines in Dear Landlord explaining a philosophy of interaction between two dependent individuals. There's the suggestion that Dylan is talking about his relation to God (the landlord); but I won't go into it further because the song pretty much explains itself once you've decided whom Dylan is addressing.
