Janis Joplin - Me and Bobby McGee (Acoustic Demo) lyrics

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train And I was feelin' near as faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained It rode us all the way into New Orleans I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna And 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' honey if it ain't free Yeah and the feelin' good was easy, Lord, Bobby sang the blues You know, feelin' good was good enough for me Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Through all kinds of weather and through everything that we done So Bobby baby he kept me from the cold One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away For he was lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it But I'd trade all on my tomorrows for one single yesterday To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose And nothin', that's all that Bobby left me, yeah Feelin' good was easy, Lord, Bobby sang the blues I said feelin' good was good enough for me Was good enough for me and my Bobby McGee Bobby McGee And a Bobby McGee, yeah Bobby McGee, yeah Hey and a Bobby, Lord, my Bobby McGee, yeah Hey I'll call him my lover, I call him my man I said I call him my lover, do the best I can I said now come on Bobby now, come on Bobby McGee, yeah Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee yeah That's one somebody else has to take up
