William Lee Golden and The Goldens - Me and Bobby Mcgee Lyrics

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
When I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
And rode us all the way into New Orleans

I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowing sad, while Bobby sang the blues
Windshield wipers slappin' time
I's holdin' Bobby's hands
We finally sang every song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', it ain't nothing, but it's free
And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when she sang the blues
Feelin' was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the seacrets of my soul
Standing right beside me Lord, through everything i've done
Every night she kept me from the cold
Somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
Lookin' for that home and I hope she'll find
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', it ain't nothing, but it's free
And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' was good enough for me

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me
Well, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
And feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee, yeah
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', it ain't nothing, but it's free
And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee, yeah
