LYRICS

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, and headin' for a train. Feelin' nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained. It took us all the way to New Orleans. So, I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana, and was blowin' hot
while Bobby sang the blues.
With them windshield wipers flappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands, we finally sang every song the driver knew.

REFRAIN:
Freedom 's just another word for nothing left to lose. And 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 coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I done. And, late at night, she'd keep me from the cold. Then, somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away; searchin' for the home I hoped she'd find. And I'd give all my tomorrows for a single yesterday; holdin' Bobby's body close to mine.

REFRAIN

La la la la.....la la la la. la la la la Me and Bobby McGee. La la la la.....la la la la la la la la Me and Bobby McGee.

REFRAIN

Feelin' good was good enough for me; good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
