Kris Kristofferson, Janis Joplin

Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose
And nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’ but it’s free

Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing, I mean nothing honey if it ain’t free

    Me And Bobby Mcgee

    Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin’ for the trains,
    Feelin’ nearly faded as my jeans.
    Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
    Took us all the way to New Orleans.
    Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
    And was blowin’ sad while Bobby sang the blues,
    With them windshield wipers slappin’ time and
    Bobby clappin’ hands we finally sang up every song
    That driver knew.

    Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose,
    And nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’ but it’s free,
    Feelin’ good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues,
    And buddy, that was good enough for me,
    Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

    From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun,
    Bobby shared the secrets of my soul,
    Standin’ right beside me through everythin’ I done,
    And every night she kept me from the cold.
    Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away,
    She was lookin’ for the home I hope she’ll find,
    Well I’d trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
    Holdin’ Bobby’s body close to mine.

    Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose,
    And nothin’ left was all she left to me,
    Feelin’ good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues,
    And buddy, that was good enough for me.
    Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

    Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin’ fer a train
    When I’s feeling nearly faded as my jeans
    Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
    And rode us all the way to New Orleans
    I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
    I’s playing soft while Bobby sung the blues, n-yeah
    Windshield wipers slapping time I’s, 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 ain’t free, no no
    Yeah feeling good was easy Lord 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, through everything we done
    Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold world
    One day near Salinas Lord, I let him slip away
    He’s 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 nothing left to lose
    Nothing, and that’s all that Bobby left me, yeah
    But feeling good was easy Lord when he sang the blues
    Hey feeling good was good enough for me, hmm-mm
