Me & Bobby McGee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train

Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans

And Bobby flagged the diesel down, just before it rained

Took us all the way to New Orleans

I took my harpon out of my dirty red bandanna

I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blue

With them windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands

We finally sang near every song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to do

Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free

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

Feelin' 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

Standing right beside me, Lord, in everything I done

Bobby's body kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away

Lookin' for that home, I hope she finds

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

Holding Bobby's body close to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

Nothin' was all she left for me

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

Feelin' good was good enough for me

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to do

Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free

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

Feelin' good was good enough for me

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
