Me And Bobby McGee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Waiting for a train
And I was feeling near as faded as my jeans..
. Bobby thumbed a desiel down, just before it rained
and rode us all the way to New Orleans

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues, uh huh
Windsheild wipers slappin' time
I was holding Bobby's hand in mine
and we sang every song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing , I mean nothing honey, if it aint free, yeah
Feeling good was easy ,oh when he sang the blues
You know feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby Mcgee

From the Kentucky coal mines, to the California sun
Yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather,
and through every thing we done
Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold.

One day up near Salinas oh no
I let him slip away
He's looking for that home, and I hope he finds it
I'd trade all of my tommorows,
for one single yesterday
To be holding bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing, and that's all that Bobby left me
Feeling good was easy ,oh when he sang the blues
You know feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

Sitting down by my window
Looking at the rain
Send a bomb in my world of night air
All around I felt it
All I could see was the rain
Something grabbed a hold of me honey
Felt to me, honey like a ball and chain
You know what I mean

Say whoah...honey, this can't be
Just because I got to want your love, please...leave me be
Whoah...honey, this can't be
Just because I got to need ya daddy
Please don't ya let me down now

Honey, I wanted to love ya

Whoah...honey, just can't be
I wonder if someone...if they could tell me
Tell me why
Just because I got to want your love
Honey, just because I got to need, need, need your love
I say, I don't understand
Honey, when I wanna try and say hi
Try, try, try, try, try, try, try...
Honey, when everybody in the world wants the same damn
thing
When everybody in the world, who needs the same lone thing
When I wanna work for your love daddy
When I wanna try for you love daddy
I don't understand, how come, your gone, man

I don't understand why half the world is still crying, man
When the other half the world is still crying too, man
I mean, if you gotta care for one day, man
Say, maybe, you wanna care for 365 days, right?
You ain't got it for 365 days, man
You got it for one day, man
Well, I'll tell you that one day, man, better be your life, man
Because you know, you can say Oh Man,
you can cry about the other 364
But your gonna lose that one day, man
And that's all you got
You gotta call that love, man.
That's what it is.
If you got it today, you don't wear it tomorrow
Cause you don't need it
As a matter of fact, as we discovered on the train,
tomorrow never happens.
It's all the same fucking day, man.
So you gotta, when you wanna hold somebody
You gotta hold em like it's the last minute of your life
You gotta hold.........................

Holy...Cause some day some weight gonna come on your
shoulders babe
Ball
and Chain.

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porches, and I must make amends.
Worked hard all my life time, no help from my friends.
So, oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three.
So, Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?
IÕm counting on you Lord, please donÕt let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round.

What good can drinkin' do?
What good can drinkin' do?
Lord, I drink all night,
But the next day I still feel blue.

There's a glass on the table,
They say it's gonna ease all my pain.
Well, there's a glass on the table,
They say it's gonna ease all my pain.
Oh, I drink it down,
But the next day I still feel the same.

Give me whiskey,
Give me bourbon,
Give me gin.
Oh, give me whiskey,
Give me bourbon,
Give me gin.
It don't matter what I'm drinkin',
As longs as it drowns the sorrow I'm in.

Now, my man he left me.
Child, he left me here.
Um, my man he left me.

When I'm feelin' low down,
Just gimme another drink of beer.

So I said, Honey I want the sunshine
And take the stars out of the night

That's hidden underneath it's horny shell
Whoa, I'm like a turtle
Hidden underneath it's horny shell
But ya know I'm very well protected
I know this goddamn life too well
Ya can call me mean, you can call me evil
'I've been called much worser things around
Call me mean, or call me evil
I've been called much worser things, ah, things around
Yeah, but I'm gonna take good care of Janis

Hon, ain't no one gonna talk me down
All right!
