And For the Best Friend I've Ever Known...

"Me and Bobby McGee" - Janis Joplin

Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Waitin' for a train
With a feeling as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed the diesel down
Just before it rained
He rode us all the way to New Orleans
And I pulled my harpoon
Out of my dirty red bandana
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues
Na-na
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 nothing left to lose
Nothin', I mean nothin' honey if it ain't free
And feelin' good was easy, ya-huh, when he sang the blues,
Yeah, feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
Yeah Bobby held the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather
Do everything when we're done
Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows
For one single yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothin', I mean nothin' honey if it ain't free
And feelin' good was easy, ya-huh, when he sang the blues,
Yeah, feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

Hey, my Bobby, Lord, my Bobby McGee, yeah
Lo-da-lo da-la-lo-da-la
Lo-da-la-lo da-la-lo la-la-lo la-la-lo la-la
Hey, my Bobby, Lord, my Bobby McGee, yeah
Lord, I call him my lover, I call him my man,
I said I call him my lover, did the best I can, c'mon
Hey my Bobby now, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah
