Me And Bobby Mcgee Lyrics

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.
Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
and
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,
and buddy, that was good enough for me,
Good enough
for me and my Bobby McGee.

From the coalmines of Kentucky to the
California sun,
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul,
Standin' right
beside me through everythin' I done,
and every night she kept me from the
cold.
The somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away,
she was
lookin' for the love I hope she'll find,
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for
a single yesterday,
holdin' Bobby's body close to mine.

Freedom's just
another word for nothin' left to lose,
and nothin' left was all she left to
me,
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues,
and buddy,
that was good enough for me.
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
