Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don’t mean nothing honey if it ain’t free...
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.

— Janis Joplin Misattributed

Music’s for grooving man, and music’s not for puttin’ yourself through bad changes, y’know?

An’ I don’t want much outa life,
I never wanted a mansion in the south.
I just-a want to find someone sincere
Who’d treat me like he talks,
One good man.

Please don'tcha do it to me babe, no!
Please don'tcha do it to me baby,
Either take this love I offer
Or honey let me be.

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz? My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends

Pearl (1971)
