 L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time

And the feeling is "lay back"
Palm trees grow and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back

Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays
I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home
But it ain't mine no more

"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair

"I am"... I cried
"I am"... said I
And I am lost and I can't
Even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog
Who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names
And a few other changes
If you talk about me
The story is the same one

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried
But it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared
For the sound of being alone

"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... said I
And I am lost and I can't
Even say why
"I am"... I said
"I am"... I cried
"I am"

One month ago today
I was happy as a lark
But now I go for walks
To the movies, maybe to the park
I have a seat on the same old bench
To watch the children play, huh
You know tomorrow is their future
But for me just another day
They all gather 'round me, huh
They seem to know my name
We laugh, tell a few jokes
But it still doesn't ease my pain
I know I can't hide from a memory
Though day after day I've tried
I keep sayin' she'll be back
But today again I've lied

Oh, I see her face everywhere I go
On the street and even at the picture show
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Oh, I hear her voice as the cold winds blow
In the sweet music on my radio
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Why, oh, why
Did she have to leave and go away
I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And I'm lost, baby, I'm lost

Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her (tell me have you seen her)
Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her (tell me have you seen her)

Oh, she left her kiss upon my lips
But left that break within my heart
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Oh, I see her hand reaching out to me
Only she can set me free
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Why, oh, why
Did she have to leave and go away

I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And I'm lost, baby, I'm lost
Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her (tell me have you seen her)

As another day comes to an end
I'm lookin' for a letter or somethin'
Anything that she would send
With all the people I know, hmm
I'm still a lonely man
You know it's funny
I thought I had her in the palm of my hand
(Have you seen her)
Tell me have you seen her (tell me have you seen her)

Oh doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Have you seen her (have you seen her)
Tell me have you seen her (have you seen her)
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her (tell me have you seen her)
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her (tell me have you seen her)
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her (tell me have you seen her)
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her (tell me have you seen her)

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained, 
It rode us all the way to New Orleans.

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna, 
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues.
Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine, 
We sang every song that driver knew.

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose, 
Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now.
And 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
. 
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun, 
Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done, 
Hey Bobby baby kept me from the cold world 
. 
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away, 
He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it, 
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine. 

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose, 
Nothing, that's all that Bobby left me, yeah, 
But feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues, 
Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm, 
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la la la Bobby McGee.
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, Bobby McGee, la

La La la, la la la la la la, 
La La la la la la la la la, hey now Bobby now Bobby McGee yeah.

Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na
Hey now Bobby now, Bobby McGee, yeah.

Lord, I'm calling my lover, calling my man, 
I said I'm calling my lover just the best I can, 
C'mon, where is Bobby now, where is Bobby McGee, yeah, 
Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord! 

Yeah! Whew! 
Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee.

I am the magnificent
I'm backed by the shack of a soul boss
Most turnin' stormin' sound o'soul

I am double U, O, O, O
And I'm still up here again

Hey
Work, work, work, work, work
Work, work, work, work, work, work
Build it up one time
Work it on baby
Mush, mush, mush, mush

Hit me one time
Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh
Break it up
Push your lips now

You're fine, baby
You're fine

I am the magnificent, double U, O, O, O
Good God, too much, I like it

Soul party
Work it up one time, work it two time
Shack it, back it
I am the magnificent baby, double U, O, O, O

Enter the shack at the back of your soul, baby
Work it out, huh
Hit me one time
