Ego Rock Lyrics

[Spoken:] 

 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

 

 Yeah, yeah, yeah, honey ain't it hard when you're all alone

 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, honey ain't it hard, Lord, when you're all
alone

 I might die real old lady, but I'd never call Texas my home, no, no, no,
oh!

 

 You say you come from Texas, baby, she says she left Texas with just her
name

 [Spoken:] 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!

 

 Honey, I hear you talkin' about sorrow, baby but you don't know my pain,
that's right!

 Mercy! Mercy!

 I hear you talking about my sorrow, you don't know my pain

 You know there's an inside kind of sorrow, Lord, the women are always singin'
the blues

 All right, all right mother fucker, you sing!

 

 You know I, I dealt the Ace to the Queen, you know I played scrabble with
L.B.J.

 Yes, I dealt an Ace to the Queen, didn't I'll tell ya I's playin' scrabble
with L.B.J.

 Well, I don't care what the name of the game is, baby, I tell you I always
seem to get my way

 

 I used to be a doggone fool, fall for a woman's story every time

 But no more, I swear

 Well, I used to be a, be a doggone fool, fall for that old woman's story every
time

 Yes I, I'm a big boy now, yeah, they gotta come up with some kind of heavy
line

 Well, well, yeah!

 

 Sounds like I found the man, who could take care of my time

 It ain't me babe, it ain't me babe!

 It appears to me that I found a man, that could take care of my time

 Well, I got my own trouble, I got my own car, I got my own little lady, I got
my hotel

 Oh what are you talking about!

 Don't try to take it!

 Somebody talks as fine as he does, oughta be able to take care of

 One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine

 

 Woman, woman, it just makes me mad

 Ahh, ahh! Woman, yeah

 Woman, yeah

 Woman, yeah

 Woman, yeah

 Woman, yeah, yeah, it just makes me mad

 Oh man, shit, man...

 Yes, she played me for the fool I tell ya

 Yes and I've got to love every man she's ever had, yeah

 

 If I found a man who could put me down the way you do

 I mean so handy-like, you know what I mean?

 Yeah, I found a man, whoa, who could put me down the way you do

 I mean so easy like it was second nature, y'know what I mean, man?

 Ah maybe that man could help me, at least, honey I thought I would give you a
chance

 I said I, what I said I could try after the, after the show tonight maybe uh
...

 

 I'm just a working man, you know

 Ha ha ha ha, you don't work too hard, baby!

 You know I ain't no Hollywood star

 I'm not Joe Namath, you know, I read about that in the papers today

 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 farmyard

 Lord, Lord, whoaah!

 

 Ha ha ha! ha. Whew! Whew! Wow! That's getting a little too close, too heavy
here

 That's Nick Gravenites, that was a tune called Ego Rock. No! ...

 

 All right, rock, rock & roll song
