Lyrics - Me And Bobby Mcgee by Janis Joplin

Busted flat in
Baton
Rouge;headin' for the trains.
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a disel downjust before it rained;took us all the way to
New
Orleans
I took my harpoon out my dirtyred
Bandanna and was blowin' sadwhile
Bobby sang the blues;with them windshield wipersslappin' time and
Bobby clappin' handswe fin' ly sang up every song thatdriver knew;freedom's just another wordfor nothin' left to losenothin' ain't worth nothin'but it's free;
Feeling good was easy
Lordwhen
Bobby sang the blues;feeling good was good enough for me;good enough for me and
Bobby
Mc
Gee.
From the coal mines of
Kentucky tothe
California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul;standin' right beside me
Lordthrough everything
I doneevery night she kept me from the cold;then somewhere near
Salinas
Lord
I let her slip awaylookin' for the home
I hope she'll find;and
I'd trade all my tomorrows for a
Single yesterday holdin'
Bobby's bodynext to mine;
Freedom's just another wordfor nothin' left to losenothin' left is all she left for me;feeling good was easy
Lordwhen
Bobby sang the blues;
Buddythat was good enough for me;good enough for me and
Bobby
Mc
Gee.
