Me And Bobby Mcgee

BUSTED FLAT IN BATON ROUGE, WAITING 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 PULL MY HARPOON OUT OF MY DIRTY RED BANDANA
AND WAS BLOWIN’ 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.

FREEDOM'S JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR NOTHIN’ LEFT TO LOSE
AND 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

FROM THE COALMINES OF KENTUCKY TO THE CALIFORNIA SUN,
BOBBY SHARED THE SECRETS OF MY SOUL,
STANDIN’ RIGHT BESIDE ME ALL THROUGH EVERYTHING I DONE,
EVERY NIGHT HE KEPT ME FROM THE COLD
THEN SOMEWHERE NEAR SALINAS, LORD, I LET HIM SLIP AWAY
SEARCHING FOR THE HOLE MY HOPPIN' FINDS
I’D TRADE ALL MY TOMORROWS FOR A SINGLE YESTERDAY,
HOLDING BOBBY’S BODY CLOSE TO MINE.
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

LA LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA, LA LA ME AND BOBBY MCGEE
LA LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA, LA LA ME AND BOBBY MCGEE
LA LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA, LA LA ME AND BOBBY MCGEE....
