Me and Bobby McGee |
| Busted flat it 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. |
| I took my harpoon out of my old dirty red bandana |
| I was playin' sad while bobby sang the blues |
| With those windshield wipers slappin' time |
| And bobby’s clappin' hands we finally |
| Sang up every song that driver knew. |
| Oh oh oh freedom’s just another word |
| For nothin' left to lose |
| And nothin' ain’t worth nothin', but it’s free |
| Oh oh oh feelin' good was easy, lord |
| When bobby sang the blues |
| I’m feeling good was good enough for me, bobby mcgee. |
| From the coal mines of kentucky to the california sun |
| Bobby shared the secrets of my soul |
| Standing right beside me, lord, through everything i’d done |
| And every night she kept me from the cold |
| Then somewhere near salinas, lord |
| I let her slip away |
| Looking for that home and I hope she’ll find |
| I’ll trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday |
| Holdin' bobby’s body next to mine. |
| Oh, oh, oh, freedom’s just another word |
| For nothin' left to lose |
| And nothin' left was all she left for me Oh, oh, oh, feelin' good was easy, lord |
| When bobby sang the blues |
| Feeling good was good enough for me & by mcgee. |
| Oh, oh, oh, freedom’s just another word |
| For nothin' left to lose |
| And nothin' ain’t worth nothin', but it’s free |
| Oh, oh, oh, feelin' good was easy, lord |
