Me and Bobby Mcgee

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Busted flat in baton rougeHeadin for the trainsFeelin nearly faded as my jeansBobby thumbed a diesel downJust before it rainedTook us all the way to New OrleansThen I took my harpoonOut of my dirty red bandanaAnd was blowin sad while Bobby sang the bluesWith them windshield wipersFlappin' time and Bobby's hand in mineWe finally sang up every song that driver knewFreedoms just another word forNothin' left to loseAnd nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's freeFeelin' good was easy, LordWhile Bobby sang the bluesFeelin' good was good enough for meGood enough for me and Bobby McgeeFrom the coalmines of KentuckyTo the California sunBobby shared the secrets of my soulStandin' right beside me, LordThrough everythin I doneAnd every night she kept me from the coldAnd then one day near salinas, lordI let her slip awayLookin' for the home, I hope she'll findAnd I'd trade all my tomorrowsFor one single yesterdayHoldin' Bobby's body close to mineFreedom's just another word forNothin left to loseAnd nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's freeFeelin' good was easyWhile bobby sang the bluesAnd feelin' good was good enough for meGood enough for me and Bobby Mcgee
