Me And Bobby McGee (Demo Version)

Lyrics

S130 is not on Not that I play that great but still in all I ought to be able to hear it, you know what I mean (Are you hearing it now?) No Now, it's too loud I can't play that good Am I getting my Texas accent back? (I hope so) Did I always sound like this, mean I I hear myself on tape, I sound like... God Wanna start that way Ready [Verse 1] Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train When I was feelin' near as faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained That rode us all the way into New Orleans I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana And I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah Windshield wipers slappin' time, I's holdin' Bobby's hand in mine We sang every song that driver knew [Chorus] Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin', don't mean nothin', honey, if it ain't free Yeah, feelin' good was easy, Lord, Bobby sang the blues You know feelin' good was good enough for me, mm hmm Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee [Verse 2] From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done Said, Bobby baby, he kept me from the cold One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away But he was lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine [Chorus] Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me Feelin' good was easy, Lord, Bobby sang the blues I said feelin' good was good enough for me, mhm Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee [Outro] La da da la da da da, la da da da da da da La da da la la la la na Bobby McGee yeah La da la da la da, la na na na da La la la la la Bobby McGee yeah La da da la la la la la la la la la, la na na la na na la la Hey now Bobby lo no Bobby McGee yeah Hey, I called him my lover, I called him my man I said I called him my lover, did the best I can I said now, come on Bobby, Lord Come on, Bobby McGee, yeah Lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo Hey hey hey Bobby McGee, yeah That's when somebody else has to take over
