Me and Bobby McGee

Me And Bobby McGee

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'

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 coal mines of Kentucky

To the California sun

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Standin' right beside me

Through everything I've done

And every night he kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas

I let him slip away

Lookin' for the home I hope he'll find

And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday

Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Feelin' good was easy' Lord' when Bobby sang the blues

Buddy' that was good enough for me

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

hmm hmm

Enough for me and Bobby McGee

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

I let him slip away

Lookin' for the home I hope he finds

Enough for me and my Bobby McGee

[03:14.48]Enough for me and my Bobby McGee' yeah

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose'

Nothing' that’s all that Bobby left me' yeah'
