Chorus:
Freedom's 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

How good is Willie at picking that guitar

[@mac2626]

Willie Nelson was definitely top 100 in the world.

My wife and I were there, and it was one of best concerts that we ever attended. Thank you, Highway Men! I know that some of you have passed, but I will remember you all until my final day! God bless you all.

[@ktm-qt6ol]

Am so jealous you were there, what a concert!

[@jcebul3938]

This is the most talent ever amassed on the same stage. Could you imagine the price of concert tickets for this concert if it were today? These guys are just. naturally laid back doing what they were meant to do entertain. They are all in tune no fancy jewelry or clothes just a normal people. These want to be singers today could never keep up this is real country.

[@udhaya1srinivasan198]

Yes yes and yes

[@inka87871]

sooooooooooooo true!

[@millerjohn619]

I never realized that Kris Kristofferson wrote "Me and Bobby McGee!" Not only that, but Kris is also a United States Army Captain, having served as a helicopter pilot and a qualified U.S. Army Ranger. A true American badass outlaw!

[@brunojaysutter]

He wrote that about Janis Joplin. He was quite a interesting character. A Rhodes scholar, could’ve taught at West Point, and the list goes on

[@user-lw9er6ec3t]

I just caught a look in Chris's face that says he's thinking how did i ever wind up with these 3 COOL Dudes. .man I'm living right.

[@user-bz5qw2yh8p]

Johnny, Willie, and Waylon all had individual hits on this song that Kris wrote.

[@steveperreira5850]

You might want to give a listen to Waylon live, from 1975, it is my favorite version and Waylon is at his peak. It’s my favorite version of me and Bobby McGee.

The person playing the harmonica is a legend.

[@virginialawler7725]

Yes, he is! Truly fabulous. Has been with Willie Nelson for more than 40 years, I just read. And doing lots of other stuff, too. Sorry I can't provide his name. Only heard it a couple of times recently, and it hasn't "stuck" yet.

[@ndhan72]

Great if he had a name. Perhaps you can enlighten me?.

[@lisamiller1699]

FIVE legends to me...Mickey Raphael on harmonica was every bit as crucial to this wonderful collaboration of musicians. Music will never be as good as this again.

[@mugurelniculescu6900]

This is 2023 and I'm now seventy six and don't really listen to this modern stuff... but what I do know they don't write and performs song like this anymore . Pure perfection . This song will never die ,..... know matter what !

This was the first song, Kris K., wrote preformed by Janis Joplin.

[@Wobbz9413]

This is the guy who wrote it. Kris kristophersen. One of the few to actually deserve the title "Legend" and of course, Willy, Waylon and Johnny C. What more can be said!
