Me And Bobby McGee

Lyrics

Busted flat in Baton Rouge Headin' for the trains Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down Just before it rained Took us all the way to New Orleans I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues With those windshield whipers slappin' time And Bobby clappin' hands with mine We sang up ever song that driver knew Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free Feeling good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues Feeling good was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee From the coal mines of Kentucky To the California sun Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Standin' right beside me Lord Through everything I done And every night she kept me from the cold Then somewhere near Salinas Lord, I let her slip away Searchin' for a home I hope she'll find I'd trade all of my tomorrows For just one yesterday Holding Bobby's body close to mine Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free Feeling good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues Feeling good was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la Me and Bobby McGee
