Me and Bobby McGee (Demo Version) - Janis Joplin

Busted flat in Baton Rouge

Waitin' for a train

And I's 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 bandana

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' hon if it ain't free

And feelin' good was easy Lord

When he 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

Through everything that we'd done

Yeah Bobby baby

He kept me from the cold world

One day up near Salinas Lord

I let him slip away

He was lookin' for that home

And I hope he finds it

But I'd trade all of 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

Nothin' that's all that Bobby left me yeah

But feelin' good was easy Lord

When he sang the blues

I said feelin' good was

Good enough for me mm hm

It's good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
