Me and Bobby McGee

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands
We finally sang up ever song that driver knew

[Chorus]
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free
Ah, but feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
And feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

[Verse 3]
From 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 cold

[Verse 4]
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

[Chorus]
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
And nothin' left is all she left for me
Ah, but 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

[Outro]
La da da da di da da
La da da da di
La da da da, me and Bobby McGee
La da da da di da da da
La da da da di
