Me And Bobby McGee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
When I was feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
That rode us all the way in to New Orleans

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', ain't nothin', honey, it ain't free, yeah
I'm feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me, ah, ah
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

From the Kentucky coal mines to the California Sun
Yeah, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
Bobby, baby, help me from the cold

One day up near Salinas, Lord, and I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', ain't nothin', honey, it ain't free, yeah
I'm feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me, yeah
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

Called him my lover, did the best I can, then now
