This song, like Patchwork Quilt (also an AWESOME Haynes song) was probably written for/about Jerry... Haynes was quite the Jerry fan, too. Many deadheads and personal friends/bandmates swore Jerry used brownstone to escape the idea that he was a god of some type in many people's eyes. He was similar to Kurt Cobain form what I understand in that, once he got total fame and that "godlike" status, he didn't want it very much.
