Bobby Mcgee (Janis Joplin) Bobby McGee.
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
feelin' nearly faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed
a diesel down just before it rained Rode us all

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' if it ain't
free. Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he

sun, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather, through everything
we done, Hey, Bobby's body kept me from the

him slip away, He's lookin' for that home and I
hope he finds it. But I'd trade all 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' ain't worth nothin', but it's
free. And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when
Bobby sang the blues, And feelin' good was good
enough for me Oh, good enough for me and my
