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 OrleansPulled my ol' har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
Blowed it low while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield whipers slapping time and Bobby clapping hands
We finally sang up every song that driver knewFreedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free, so free
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Body that was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGeeFrom the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I done
And every night she kept me from the coldThen somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
Searching for the home I hope she'll find
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' her body close to mineFreedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' left is all she left for me for me
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues

Body that was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee
