Janis Joplin's, "Me And Bobby McGee"
The Lyrics:
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train.
And I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained.
It rode us all the way into New Orleans.
And I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained.
It rode us all the way into New Orleans.
Why:
Refers to Baton Rouge and New Orleans, the capital and the largest city, respectively, of the U.S. state of Louisiana.
