Jefferson Airplane
Trial By Fire
[Verse 1]
Gonna move out on the highway
Make this moment last
'Til it closes with the future
Leaving out the past
Rollin' on and doin' fine
Now what do you think I see?
That boney hand comes a beckonin'
Saying buddy come go with me
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause that engine just ain't strong enough
To get you round the turn
Lie on your back in the middle of a field
And watch your body burn
[Chorus]
Don't try to tell me just who I am
When you don't know yourself
Spend all your time running out on the street
With your mind home on a shelf
Lookin' at me with your eyes full of fire
Like you'd rather be seein' me dead
Lying on the floor with a hole in my face
And a ten gauge shotgun at my head
[Verse 2]
You can leave me here
But I won't tell
Things I know about you
And know so well
The way you smile at me
Try to set me free
And keep me wondering
What the future will be
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh rollin' on
Won't be long
I won't leave here
'Til I sing this song
[Chorus]
Don't try to tell me just who I am
When you don't know yourself
Spend your time running out on the street
With your mind home on a shelf
Lookin' at me with your eyes full of fire
Like you'd rather be seein' me dead
Lying on the floor with a hole in my face
And a ten gauge shotgun at my head
