Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained, It 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. Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine, We sang every song that driver knew. Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose, Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now. And 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, Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul. Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done, Hey Bobby baby kept me from the cold world 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 is just another word for nothing left to lose, Nothing, 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 hmm, Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee. La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la La la la la la Bobby McGee. La la la la la, la la la la la La la la la la, Bobby McGee, la La La la, la la la la la la, La La la la la la la la la, hey now Bobby now Bobby McGee yeah. Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na Hey now Bobby now, Bobby McGee, yeah. Lord, I'm calling my lover, calling my man, I said I'm calling my lover just the best I can, C'mon, where is Bobby now, where is Bobby McGee, yeah, Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord! Yeah! Whew! Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee.

If I changed my mind If I changed my faith Every time a stop light signaled Each time I made mistakes I don't think that I would be where I am today I live my life without regrets What you see is, what you see is What you see is what you get and I'm Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed, unashamed Adding up my life, it totals all my dreams I'm counting all my blessings and the gifts I have received Still there's always someone, something to overcome Took all my life to understand that I am what I am, who I am Unashamed Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed Do you wanna know how it goes? Do you wanna control how I feel? Do you wanna stay in my life? Then listen here and listen good You got to get it, got to get it, got to get it right Unashamed Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed

Got me a postcard and a twenty dollar bill I told you I'd meet you in Memphis if you bring me those pills And I got high and I got dry for far too long And the gypsy train to Houston is gonna take me along They called me the wild card And they called me their fool I told them I'd bring 'em that money If they'd get me back to you And I got cash and I got robbed for all I own And the gypsy train to Houston is gonna take me back home I got clean and I got a steady job No longer was I running from the emblems of the law And I got clean and I got mean to the bone And the gypsy train to Houston won't leave me alone And the gypsy train to Houston won't leave me alone

Met a girl at the party last night, With gold in her eyes, And little alibies to fool me. Had venom on her lips, Painted finger tips, Used my chest pockets To hold her cigarettes, and number, And I wonder, If I'll see her again. She said, boy if you really wanna write a song, You better stop waiting to take me home, And let me talk to you. Whatever you wanna do. Baby, don't make me wait anymore, If that other girl cared, She'd be right at the door, to stop me, And if you love her, Then come a little closer, And let me change that for you. Met a girl at the party last night, With bad ideas, but real good pills To hold me. Baby blue eyes, Without the sunshine, She locked me in her room, And took her sweet time. I wonder, if I'm just another, Notch on the post. She said, boy if you really wanna write a song, You better stop waiting to take me home, And let me talk to you. Whatever you wanna do. Baby, don't make me wait anymore, If that other girl cared, She'd be right at the door, to stop me, And if you love her, Then come a little closer, And let me change that for you. Met a girl at the party last night, With vicious intentions, To find another victim to haunt me. Twisted up knives, The back of my spine, Taryn me to pieces, The reasons I write, I wonder, if I'm just another, Ghost you used to know... She said, boy if you really wanna write a song, You better stop waiting to take me home, And let me talk to you. Whatever you wanna do. Baby, don't make me wait anymore, If that other girl cared, She'd be right at the door, to stop me, And if you love her, Then come a little closer, And let me change that for you. Met a girl at the party last night.
