Janis Joplin — Me and Bobby McGee

[Verse 1] Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train When I was feeling nearly faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained And rode us all the way to New Orleans I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana I was playing soft while Bobby sung the blues, yeah Windshield wipers slapping time I was holding Bobby's hand in mine We sang every song that driver knew [Chorus] Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose Nothing, I mean nothing, honey if it isn't free, no no Yeah feeling good was easy Lord, when he sang the blues You know feeling good was good enough for me Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee [Verse 2] From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun Yeah, 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 one single yesterday To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine [Chorus] Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose Nothing, and that's all that Bobby left me Feeling good was easy Lord, when he sang the blues You know feeling good was good enough for me Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee [Bridge] La da la la la, la da la la la da la La da da la la la Bobby McGee yeah La da la la la, la da la la la da la La da da la la la Bobby McGee yeah La da la la la, la da la la la da la La da da la la la Bobby McGee yeah La da la la la, la da la la la da la La da da la la la Bobby McGee yeah [Outro] Lord, I called him my lover, I called him my man I said called him my lover just the best I can and come on And and a Bobby oh, and a Bobby McGee yeah Lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo Hey hey hey Bobby McGee, lord La da la la la, la da la la la la la Hey hey hey, Bobby McGee yeah
