Janis Joplin - Port Arthur High School Reunion Lyrics
What do you think about your town since youve left and come back ?Its fantastic! I was across the river from the club last night, I never had more fun in my life! except sometimes in california I have more fun.Do you plan to come back soon ?Oh ? er, er, er, I have no immediate plans, ha ha ha!!Did you entertain in high school, at the high school, when you went back at the high school ?Only when I walked down the aisles, man. no, I did, no, I was, er, I was a painter, and a sort of a recluse in high school. Ive changed.What happened ?I got liberated! I dont know, I just started to sing and singing makes you want to come out because painting, I feel, keeps you inside, you know ? and once you start singing you just sort of waO talk to people more and go out more and, you know, your lifestyles becomes more a come-out, flow-out thing instead of a hold-it-and-be-quiet type.How were you different from your schoolmates when you were a teenager ?I dont know, why dont you ask them ?Did they make you different ?No.Otherwise were you different in comparison with them, or were you ?I felt apart from them.Did you take a part in football games ?I think not. I didnt go to the high school prom, and er ...Oh, you were asked, werent you ?No, I wasnt. I dont think, I dont think they wanted to take me. till Ill be a hundred and sufferin! its enough to make you wanna sing the blues!
