Home Grown

Lyrics: Spencer Dryden
Music: Spencer Dryden

Played by the New Riders of the Purple Sage in the 1970s.

Henry got back from Mexico
Brought a [curl] of solid gold
Smoke it too when long away
Delivered for San Jose

Northward bound and driving blind
Smoked one more to ease his mind
It's not too good as business goes
Risk is high and profits low

Mexico is hot today
There's got to be a better way
Plant your seeds in an even row
[Stand] awhile and let it grow

Let it grow, let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow
Let it grow

So take a page from Henry's book
[Save your rocks], don't be no cook
You only reap just what you sow
Plant your seeds and let it grow

Let it grow, let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow
Let it grow

Let it grow, let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow
Let it grow
