Me And Bobby Mcgee Lyrics

Me And Bobby Mcgee

(Kristofferson/Foster) 

Busted flat in Baton rouge 
Headin` for the train 
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 harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna 
I was blowin` sad while Bobby sang the blues 
With them windshield wipers slappin` time 
And Bobby clappin` hands 
We finally sang up every song that driver knew 

Freedom`s just another word for nothin` left to lose 
And nothin` ain`t worth nothin` but it`s free 
Feelin` good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues 
Buddy, that 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 
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 

Freedom`s just another word for nothin` left to lose 
And nothin` ain`t worth nothin` but it`s free 
Feelin` good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues 
Buddy, that was good enough for me 
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee 
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 
Enough for me and my Bobby McGee, yeah
