Lyrics:
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing, I mean nothing, honey if it isn't free, no no
Yeah 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

I am a 67 years old black dude. In high school, this girl sat next to me in class, and she always had a Janis Tee Shirt on. I asked her, who is that? The next day she brought me her album and keep it for a few days. I have been hooked every since.

I love this. I have my own story like it. In 7th grade, I sat in front of Mishaal (can't remember his last name). He had this album with a little naked baby on it swimming after a dollar bill. (Nirvana Nevermind) I was curious. He let me borrow the tape. And that changed my life. Thanks Mishaal. Thanks to all the friends who know and who share.

There was a time when we were all young, where we lived in freedom and health, where sex and love were new and mysterious and wonderful, and we thought it was never going to end.

Life is still good, but I'd still trade all of my tomorrows for just a single yesterday

Eloquently written but no way. We can use rose colored glasses to look either forwards or backwards but to get off the ride simply to re-experience something from the past a resounding hell no!

I remember when Janis Joplin died. I was 10 years old at the time and really did not know who she was. But this song, Me and Bobby McGee was playing all over at the time of her passing and you could see from the atmosphere of the public that a very dark shadow of sadness was placed. Only someone important and loved can do this. I did not understand this at the time, but I understand now.

[@Lacey_Face]

I still wonder if she just had enough and walked away. I was in Mussissippi and there was a singer there in a luttle hole in the wall bar that looked and sounded just like her. It was about 2 years after the said she died. Jimi Hendrix also wrote in one of hos album covers that hed like to disappear and go where no one knows who he is. No one saw Jimi's body leave that hotel.

[@fritzsmith3296]

@nnettesonjsjesse9733: "but I understand now." Not all of it, there's more. Songs are often "messengers" for what is going to come. annette, look at all the anger and violence going on in America. Mass shootings 5899 since 2013, 132 suicides in 2021 and 135 in 2022 and that number is slowly creeping up. Every revolution in history was preceded with anger, Janus Joplin was an "empath" expressing what she was feeling from the nation and the world. This song will be become an "anthem" of the coming revolution in America. The best is yet to come. Be well be informed be free. I'm almost 80. There were 3 kinds of people in the 1960's. Those who knew what is going on. those who didn't, and those that looked like sheep and said "what's happening." I was number three. I came from an abused family, I was in a constant state of what's happening. After camping in the wilderness ( just half-mile east of Glacier National Park at 5700 ft for 30 days at a time for 15 years) I became enlightened, and still working every day to get better and better... it never ends. Once one gets on that path it becomes a life-long quest to know more and more and... Remember this song annette. When the revolution comes your nostalgia will be others crying for freedom.

My dad passed away about 8 years ago from cancer when I was about 15. This was his go to song to pump himself when he was feeling down. Will always be grateful to Janis Joplin for this song

[@lotsoffun4716]

I hope you are doing well and still loving this song.

Alot of us here feel u💙💙💙

[@jamesfiaco4922]

Did your dad ever feel down knowing the fact that most parents don't have a method of parenting that will allow infant baby toddler young child and teenager to grow up and develop maturing into strong confident healthy successful fun-loving adults that can joyfully make their way through life as a single, married, or simply just living as a healthy happy productive part of a massive group which is society. Even worse this selfless neglecting stupidity has been exacerbated by global pollution which has diminished the quality of life for all did your father ever get that far down? Into the truth

I lost my mama April 2nd 2020 this was a song she always sang too

[@jamesfiaco4922]

@@stillwaters7730 In case you haven't noticed her songs like most other famous singers are based them off of the predetermined systematic response to life and death. Meaning their songs have not motivated people or inspired them in any manner to prevent school mass shootings or any other form of abuse and neglect that today's Americans are being born into 24 seven all year long. So it's not so much losing your mind as in never having one that is capable of consciously acknowledging and physically participating in aspects of life that don't result in school mass shootings or any of the other forms of abuse or neglect that American children are dealing with today versus when the singer was first born.

Happy Birthday Janis ♥️

[@rameshbhattacharjee4374]

This Woman Janis Joplin Made The Best Of What She Had During The Tumultuous Decade Of 1960s, Especially 1968 The Year That Made The USA The Nation It Is Today, Rest In Peace Janice Dearrie, You Have Us The Best Years Of Life, And Left Too Soon Never To Blossom Fully, Like Neil Diamond's Song Done Too Soon, In Your Case It Was Gone Too Soon

[@boden_gamerboy6139]

One of the first great women singers!! Absolutely fantastic!! Still listening to this in 2023! 👍🏾♥️♥️♥️

[@rotagbhd]

THere have been great female singers for thousands of years, literally.

[@maryannproffitt44]

Not one of the first but one of many of my musical sheroes.

[@Grrrufftiy]

The build up in this song is amazing. Starts out as a sweet love song, and then the emotion over takes the entire piece. Each and every syllable out of her mouth has more power emotion and soul in it than the entirety of music put out today. Just the lahdidahdahs, all alone is a better piece of music than we will probably ever get again.... ❤ Raw, and shredded just like her heart was. If you've had a rough enough life, you'll end up both laughing and crying while singing along sometimes.... This is an absolute masterpiece. The band, the vocals, the timing, and unfortunately the drugs that led her to death. All of it. Tragically Beautifully Haunting.

[@KerriAustin-hr5ch]

SHES SO AWSOME.

So American!!! Love you Janis.
