Me and Bobby Mc Gee lyrics
by Kris Kristofferson



Busted flat in Baton Rouge head-in` for the trains,
Feeling nearly faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained;
Took us all the way to New Orleans.
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
and was blowin`sad while Bobby sang the blues.
with them Windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby's
clappin`hands we fin`ly sang up ev`ry song that driver knew.

Chorus:

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 an Bobbie McGee.

From 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 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.
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
Holdin` Bobby's body next to mine.
