Ego Rock Lyrics - In Concert - Janis Joplin

Let's go, let's go let's go let's go. Peter you start it. Richard, you start it. Somebody start it. 

I just had to get out on the Texas plane, 

Lord, well it was bringing me down. 

Yeah, I had to get out of Texas, baby, 

Lord, it was bringing me down. 

I been all around the world, 

But Port Arthur is the worst place that I've ever found. 

I guess they couldn't understand it there, 

Honey, they'd laugh me off the street! 

Lord, I guess they couldn't understand me, baby, 

Honey, they'd laugh, I said they'd laugh me right off the street, yeah. 

I said I want to keep on moving, baby, 

Be the last person I ever wanna meet.

But I'd never call Texas my home, 

No, no, no, oh!

She says she left Texas with just her name. 

(That's what she told me.) 

Yes she's from Texas I tell you, 

She says she left Texas with just her name. 

Yes, well I swear when that girl came to the big city 

Lord, she learned a brand new game. 

Well, yeah!

You know I'm just a working man 

You don't work too hard, baby! 

I never ran in a football game 200 yards 

Ha ha ha ha ha, that's the kinda man I like, that's the kinda man I like. 

But you know I can take care of those country girls 

Well I can mess around in that farm-yard. 

Lord, Lord, whoaah!!
