Me & Bobby McGee lyrics

Busted flat in Baton Rouge
waiting for a train

And I's feeling nearly
as faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed
a diesel down
just before it rained

It rode us all the way
to New Orleans

I pulled my harpoon
out of my dirty
red bandanna

I was playing soft
while Bobby sang
the blues

Windshield wipers
slapping time
I was holding
Bobby's hand in mine

We sang every song
that driver knew

Freedom is just
another word for
nothing left to lose

Nothing don't mean
nothing honey
if it ain't free
now now

And feeling good
was easy, Lord
when he sang
the blues

You know
feeling good was
good enough for me

Good enough
for me and my
Bobby McGee

From the Kentucky
coal mines
to the California sun

Hey Bobby shared
the secrets of
my soul

Through all kinds
of weather
through everything
we done

Hey Bobby baby
kept me from the cold

One day up near Salinas
I let him slip away

He's looking for
that home
and I hope
he finds it

But I'd trade
all of my tomorrows
for one single yesterday
to be holding Bobby's
body next to mine

Freedom is just
another word
for nothing
left to lose

Nothing
that's all that
Bobby left me yeah

But feeling good
was easy Lord
when he sang
the blues

Hey feeling good
was good enough
for me, hmm hmm

Good enough for me
and my Bobby McGee

La la la

La la la la la
Bobby McGee

La la la la la
la la la la la

La la la la la
Bobby McGee la

La la la
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
ain't no bubble on
my Bobby McGee yeah

Na na na na na na
na na na na na na na
na na na na
hey now Bobby
now Bobby McGee yeah

Lord, I'm calling my lover
calling my man
I said I'm calling my lover
just the best I can
c'mon

Hey now Bobby yeah
hey now Bobby McGee
yeah

Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy
Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
Hey, hey, hey

Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
Hey, hey, hey
Bobby McGee yeah
