Me And Bobby McGee(Album Version)---Janis Joplin
Busted flat in Baton Rouge waitin' for a train
And I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
It rode us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues yeah
Windshield wipers slappin' time
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free no no
And feelin' good was easy Lord when he sang the blues
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGhee
From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather through everything we done
Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas Lord I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' that's all that Bobby left me yeah
But feelin' good was easy Lord when he sang the blues
Hey feelin' good was good enough for me mm-hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGhee
