    The song
    Me and Bobby McGee
    Kris Kristofferson's song is usually associated with Janis Joplin (who recorded it shortly before her death in 1970), it was first recorded by Roger Miller in 1969.
    A generous forgiving open tune, possibly about two lovers making their way to New Orleans who split and go their separate ways

    The lyrics
    Here are the lyrics:
    Lyrics
    Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
    When I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
    Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
    And rode us all the way into New Orleans
    I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
    I's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues
    Windshield wipers slappin' time, I's holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
    We sang every song that driver knew
    Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose
    Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no-no
    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 mine to the California sun
    There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
    Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
    Yeah, Bobby baby, kept me from the cold
    One day up 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 is just another word for nothin' left to lose
    Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me, yeah
    But feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
    That feelin' good was good enough for me, mmm-hmm
    Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
