Me and Bobby McGhee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train

Feeling nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a deisel down, just before it rained

Took us all the way to New Orleans

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana

I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues

With them windshield wipers slappin' time, and Bobby clapping hands with mine

We sang up every song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose

Nothing ain't worth nothing, but It's free

Feeling good was easy lord when Bobby sang the blues

Feelin' good was good enough for me

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

Break

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 done

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 my tomorrows for a single yesterday

Holding Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose

Nothing ain't worth nothing, but It's free

Feeling good was easy lord when Bobby sang the blues

Feelin' good was good enough for me

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
