*ME AND BOBBY MCGEE - LYRICS FOR US*

[Peterlock]

Hi Folks, :wave

I know I can't be the only Janis Joplin fan on this site ~ here are the lyrics to her infamous tribute to Bobby Mcgee with a little editing by yours truly

Me And Bobby McGee
Janis Joplin

• Gettin' Fat in Batten Rouge, waitin' for the train,
  Feelin' 'bout as faded as my jeans,
  But I thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained,
  Took me all the way to New Orleans.
  I pulled my old DANDR out of my to tight red bandanna,
  And was reading chapter after chapter while those high carb blues began to fade, windshield wipers slappin' time,
  I read every word that skinny carb free driver knew.
  
  Freedom's just another word for the weight that's left to lose,
  Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free,
  Feelin' bad was easy Lord, when carbohydrates gave me the blues.
  But now Feelin' good is good enough for me...
  good enough for me since Atkins set me free.
  
  From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun,
  Atkins shares the secrets of my soul,
  Standing right beside me Lord, through everything I done,
  And every night my determination keeps me from the cold.
  Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let those old food addictions slip way, They're looking for that new home and I hope they don't find it
  Now, I wouldn't trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
  Holdin' a cheese roll up in one hand and my copy of DANDR in the other...
  
  Freedom's just another word for the weight that's left to lose,
  Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free,
  Feelin' bad was easy Lord, when carbohydrates gave me the blues.
  But now Feelin' good is good enough for me...
  good enough for me since Atkins set me free.

La la la .....
