Anderson Grade
On The Trade
The Anderson Grade is a section if I-5 that descends out
of Southern Oregon and into the state of Jefferson. One of several phantom
states in this country, Jefferson is comprised of counties around the border of Oregon and
California.Anderson grade, Anderson grade
I got my made on the Anderson grade
Got me a pan and a steady mule
Gonna strike it rick inthe Siskiyou
Tell me 'bout hard lessons won
I'll show you the state of Jefferson
Deliver now from poverty
These boomtowns of last century
Jackson, Humboldt, Siskiyou
Del Norte, Shasta, Modac too
Josephine, Josephine
Got the prettiest coast you ever seen
Water come down from Shasta high
South California drink me dry
We'd be rich, we'd have wealth
If we had statehood for ourselves
Humboldt hemp, Humboldt hemp
Don't ask me how I pay my rent
In Trinidad you stole my trees
Sold them all out overseas
Sold them all our resources
And wonder what the deal is
Anderson grade, Anderson grade
I got it made on the Anderson grade.
