|
Busted flat in Baton Rouge headed for the trains |
|
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans |
|
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained |
|
Took us all the way to New Orleans. |
|
I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana |
|
I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the blues |
|
With them windshield whipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands |
|
We finally sang up ever song that driver knew. |
|
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose |
|
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free |
|
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues |
|
Feeling it 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 |
|
Every night she'd keep me from the cold. |
|
Somewhere near Salinas Lord Bobby slipped away |
|
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find |
|
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday |
|
Holding her body close to mine. |
|
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose |
|
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free |
|
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues |
|
Feeling it was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee. |
