Me And Bobby McGee
Janis Joplin
Me And Bobby McGee
Busted broke down in Baton Rouge
Waitin' for a train
Feelin' as worn out as my jeans
Bobby hitched a ride on a diesel truck
Just before the rain came down
He took us all the way to New Orleans
I took out my harmonica
From my dirty red bandana
I played softly while Bobby sang the blues
Windshield wipers keeping time
I was holding Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for havin' nothing left to lose
Nothin', I mean nothin' honey if it ain't free
Yeah, feeling good was easy Lord, when he sang the blues
Yeah, feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
From the coal mines of Kentucky
To the California sun
Yeah, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather
Through everything that we did
Hey, Bobby baby help me from the cold
One day near Salinas, Lord
I let him slip away
He's searching for that home, and I hope he finds it
Well, I'd trade all of my tomorrows
For one single yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word for havin' nothing left to lose
Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me, la da
Oh, feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
Yeah, feeling good was good enough for me, oo oo
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
