Me and Bobby McGee

If it sounds country man

That's what it is

It's a country song, yeah, okay

One, two, three, four

One, two, three, four

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, and headin' for the trains

Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained

Took us all away to New Orleans

I took 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

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 Lord through everything I done

Every night she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas lord, I let her slip away

Lookin' for the home, I hope she'll find

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

Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

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

Nothin' left is all she left for me

Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues

Buddy, that was good enough for me

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

La la la...

Me and Bobby McGee

La la la...

Me and Bobby McGee

La la la...

Me and Bobby McGee
