Lyrics Me and Bobby McGhee - Kris Kristofferson

Me and Bobby McGhee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train
Feeling nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a deisel down, just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin' time, and Bobby clapping hands with mine
We sang up every song that driver knew
Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing ain’t worth nothing, but It’s free
Feeling good was easy lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Break
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 done
Every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas lord I let her slip away
Looking for the home I hope she’ll find
And I’d trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holding Bobby’s body next to mine
Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing ain’t worth nothing, but It’s free
Feeling good was easy lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
