    Lyrics (Janis Joplin version, change gender if needed)
    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 was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
    We sang every song that driver knew
    (Chorus)
    Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
    Nothin', it ain't nothin' honey, if it ain't free
    And feelin' good was easy, lord, oh, 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
    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
    One day up near Salinas, lo-ord, I let him slip away
    He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
    Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
    To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
    Chorus

    *Kris Kristofferson* announced his retirement a few days ago. Kris has been suffering from Lyme disease for a long time now. He experienced memory loss which was at first thought to be some mental condition like dementia or Alzheimer's, but then a doctor made the correct diagnosis and treatment enabled him to go on performing, Apparently, he was not treated early enough and has some permanent damage. We thank Kris for all the great songs and we will miss your presence on the music scene.

    Amazing. Johnny Cash was the greatest country singer that ever lived, in fact one of the greatest music artists period. Kris was an incredible writer and probably Cash's biggest fan. Willie? a genius - writes, picks, sings, does it all. These are The Highwaymen sans Waylon. Masters of their craft!

    I'm finding more and more great channels to listen/watch the great CW singers. George Jones sang a song "Who's Gonna Fill their Shoes?" NO ONE. CW music these days isn't what it used to be and never will be the same again. After Johnny Cash passed away I wondered "Who am I going to listen to now? Good thing I have all his music." Travis Tritt, Clint Black, Garth Brooks came along but they are changing their style. John didn't change his. He had CLASS!!!

I miss those peaceful days of a Happy America when music made you think , evaluate and dream. Thank you Kris.

      He wasn't always a lovely man and I doubt that Vivian would agree with you - Vivian, who he had 4 children with. He was a serial adulterer, a junkie and a drunk but did eventually get sorted out. Much as I loved him as an artist, let's not ignore the faults, that made him what he was. He certainly didn't.

    Lyrics:
    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 coal mines 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 love 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.
