Me and Bobby McGee - Live

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, I headed 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 blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues

And with the windshield wipers slappin' time

And Bobby's 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

And, buddy, that 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 secrets of my soul

Standing right beside me, Lord, through everything I've done

And every night she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away

Looking for the home I hope she'll find

And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday

Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

And nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free

And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues

And, buddy, that was good enough for me

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
