Janis Joplin - Me And Bobby Mcgee Lyrics
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' fer a trainWhen I's feeling nearly faded as my jeansBobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rainedAnd rode us all the way to New OrleansI pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanaI's playing soft while Bobby sung the blues, n-yeahWindshield wipers slapping time I's, holding Bobby's hand in mine andWe sang every song that driver knewFreedom's just another word for nothing left to lose,Nothing, I mean nothing honey if it ain't free, no noYeah feeling good was easy Lord when he sang the blues,You know feeling good was good enough for meGood enough for me and my Bobby McGee.From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sunYeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soulThrough all kinds of weather, through everything we doneYeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold worldOne day near Salinas Lord, I let him slip awayHe's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds itBut I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterdayTo be holdin' Bobby's body next to mineFreedom's just another word for nothing left to loseNothing, and that's all that Bobby left me, yeahBut feeling good was easy Lord when he sang the bluesHey feeling good was good enough for me, hmm-mmGood enough for me and my Bobby McGee.La da la la la, la da la la la da laLa da da la la la Bobby McGee yeahLa da la la la, la da la la la da laLa da da la la la Bobby McGee yeahLa da la la la, la da la la la da laLa da da la la la Bobby McGee yeahLord I called him my lover, I called him my manI said I called him my lover just the best I can c'mon, c'monBobby now, c'mon Bobby McGeeLa da la la la, la da la la la la laHey hey hey Bobby McGee yeah.
