"Me and Bobby McGee" is a song written by American singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson and originally performed by Roger Miller. Fred Foster shares the writing credit, as Kristofferson wrote the song based on a suggestion from Foster. A posthumously released version by Janis Joplin topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1971.

Lyrics : Written by Kris Kristofferson
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
La-da-da, la-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, Bobby McGee, yeah
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La, la-la-la-da-da- Bobby McGee, oh yeah
La-da-da, la-da-da, la, da-da, la, da-da
La-da-da, la-da-da, la-di-da
Hey now, Bobby now, now Bobby McGee, yeah
Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, lo-da-da, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Hey now, Bobby now, now Bobby McGee, yeah
Well, I wanna call him my lover, call him my man
I said, I call him my lover, did the best I can, come on
Hey now, Bobby now, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah
Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, oh
Hey-hey-hey, Bobby McGee, Lord

NJ Transit Fare Holiday Adventure

Image
When Governor Murphy announced the Fare Holiday week, which included Labor Day weekend, I knew I had to take advantage of this!  The question became when and where? It is the end of summer, so my thoughts were of ‘Summer things’ (at least in my mind). The Jersey Shore? Most certainly! But which beach? I took the Atlantic City Line train to Atlantic City on Memorial Day, which was already checked off for the summer of 2024. Maybe this was the excuse I needed to get on New Jersey Transit’s longest bus line: The 317 which runs from Philadelphia to Asbury Park and passes right in front of my home in Mt. Holly?   After checking maps and weather, the plan began to come together: First Stop: Point Pleasant Beach. What comes after that, I don’t know. After spending two-plus hours on a bus, maybe I won’t want to do this much more. After spending some time on the boardwalk, I can walk a few blocks to the train station, where a few buses stop also, and see where I end up. Maybe I co...

2004 NEW HAMPSHIRE TRIP

  2004 NEW HAMPSHIRE TRIP “You can’t take your vacation between Father’s Day and Thanksgiving,” the boss told me one day in February, “and the sooner you pick your days, the less of a chance someone else will take the days you want.” “Okay, I’ll pick them up soon,” was my reply. Had no idea about taking some time off. Had lots of travel dreams but no plans, no passport, and not a whole lot of money. The Lord heard the prayer of my heart, event if it wasn’t the one of my lips. That Sunday in church, Major Navarro made an announcement. “This year we are going to be hosting a special campaign during Holy week, the Territorial Evangelists will be visiting us and will be running special services each day from Palm Sunday through Easter Sunday. We are going to be needing everybody’s help between now and Easter.” At this time I was taking Soldier classes, which are like doctrine training and was on track to get installed as a Senior Soldier on Easter Sunday. This was just the righ...
