Me And Bobby McGee

[Verse 1]
Busted flat in Baton Rouge and 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 dirty red bandana
I was playin' 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...

[Chorus 1]
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' left was all she left for me
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

[Verse 2]
From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I done
Every night she'd keep me from the cold

Somewhere near Salinas, Lord, Bobby slipped away
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
I'd trade all of my tomorrows
For just one yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine

[Chorus 2]
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

[Outro]
La, la-la, la-la la
La, la-la
La, la-la, me and Bobby McGee

La, la-la, la-la la
La, la-la, la
La, la-la, me and Bobby McGee
