Me and Bobby McGee (with The Full Tilt Boogie Band)

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train

On us feelin' ears faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained

And rode us all the way to New Orleans

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana

I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues

When she'll wipe her slappin' time

I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine

We sang every song that Java knew

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

Nothin', I mean nothin', honey, if it ain't free

No, no, feelin' good was easy, love, it was easy now

When it sang a blues

You know feelin' good was good

Nothin' left to lose

Good enough for me and my Bobby

From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Through all kinds of weather, through everything we've done

Bobby, baby, kept me from the cold

One day I met Selena Sloan, I let him slip away

He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it

But I trade all of my tomorrows

For one single yesterday to be holding Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose

Nothin', that's how Bobby left me

But a feeling good was easy when he sang the blues

A feeling good was good enough for me

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

Now when I call up my lover

Call up my man I said I call up my lover

Did the best I can come on
